THE MOON

Myq Kaplan has been added to tomorrow’s show!

We are proud to announce that our old friend, hilarious comedian Myq Kaplan will be joining us on The Moon tomorrow. Myq is a smart, funny performer who has appeared on Late Show with David Letterman, CONAN, and the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson. He recently recorded his second hour-long comedy special.

Myq hosts a podcast called Hang Out With Me, and once featured Moon host Nat Towsen and friend-of-The-Moon Chris Gethard as guests.

We’re happy to have Myq back on the show.

Introducing : Nat Towsen’s Downtown Variety Hour

Don’t worry, The Moon isn’t going anywhere. Join Nat Towsen, co-host of The Moon, this Friday, May 3 at 7:30 as he welcomes old friends and new favorites to a theatre around the corner from the building he grew up in. Enjoy an hour packed with eclectic entertainment, educational segments, and giveaways from local businesses. A hip time is ensured to be had by all.

Featuring:

• Janeane Garofalo, standup comedian 
• Dave Hill, solo guitar/erotic flash fiction
• Will Hines, improvisor in cognito
• Micah Sherman, character in character

Help support cool music.

If you were at our last show, you know that our friend Kenny Pickett is recording his first real, fully-produced album. Why don’t we let him tell you a bit more about it himself…

Click here to watch Kenny’s Kickstarter video.

Anyone who donates at least a dollar will receive a digital copy of the album. But a pledge of $25 or more will get you a physical copy of the album plus a print of the awesome album art above, designed by The Moon’s graphic designer, Tad Kimball.

At any level of donation, you can’t go wrong supporting independent artists. Pledge a donation to ARTpocalypse today!

Thank you.


We had a great time on Tuesday and we hope you did too. Whether you were watching at home or streaming the show online, thank you for tuning in and supporting us.

Thank you to our fantastic guests, Kevin Allison, Mike O’Brien, Union Street Preservation Society, and Will Shaw. You were all more enthusiastic than we could have asked for.

Thank you to our crew: Tech director Lee Goffin-Bonenfant, live stream director Josh Grob, live stream cameraman Dan Zimmer, merch lady Brandi LaCen, and tickettaker Peter Naas.

Thank you to our sponsors, Forbidden Planet and Prestone Printing. Thanks to our streaming partners DailyMotion. And thank you to the good people at Union Pool (especially Ed, Leah, and Bravo).

Thank you to Anya Garrett for taking the photo above and many more excellent photos (coming soon, watch this space) of our show.

Lastly, we would like to thank James T. Beard (the T stands for “The”). James was a member of The Moon long before our first show and has been with us ever since. He has contributed characters, props, costumes, videos, and formidable beards. He is soon leaving for Los Angeles, so he was sent off on Tuesday (pictured above) with the traditional incantation: 

James T. Beard, you will live on in our history, in our memories, in our minds, and on our website, but will always be dead to us in our hearts.

Thanks, James.

Thank you from The Moon.

We had a great time on St. Patrick’s Day Tuesday and we hope you did too. We would like to genuinely thank everyone who helped to make that show possible. We couldn’t, probably wouldn’t, and definitely couldn’t have done it without you.

Thank you to our fantastic guests, John Flynn, Emily Heller, Leo Allen, and The Gregory Brothers. You were all hilarious, and occasionally touching.

Thank you to our crew of skilled professionals: our tech director Lee Goffin-Bonenfant, Brandi Lacen at the merch table, Peter Naas at the door, and photographer Steve Conrad, who took the above photo (and many more, coming soon!).

Thank you to the good people at Union Pool: Taylor on sound, Ed behind the bar, and Johnny and Bravo on security.

Lastly, thank you to our sponsors, Forbidden Planet, Prestone Printing, and Herradura Tequila.
