I took a trip to NYC several months ago. It was my second “Comedy Pilgrimage,” so I set out to do as many shows as I could, make some contacts and get a better feel for the city. It so happened that the trip also coincided with the New York Comedy Festival so I also hit some of those shows. On the whole, it was a great time and I’m glad I did it.
I could easily write way too much about it in one post, so I’m gonna try split it into a few smaller ones, but here’s the quick scorecard:

– 6 Days
Performed:
– 4 Booked Shows
– 3 Open Mics
