Reservations
Pig: A Restaurant
You're invited to the opening party for Pig: A Restaurant, East Gowanus' hottest new eatery. Join luminaries like model/actress/hostess Aurora, supplier Ian (of Crown Heights' preeminent household farm), and Top Chef quarter finalist Annie as they usher in the most pork-obsessed restaurant in Brooklyn.

Praise for Pig: A Restaurant:
"If you're a food nerd, you probably want to see this."
- Raphael Brion, Eater
"Pig is a razor-sharp take on the city's current foodie fadishness."
- Jamie Feldmar, Gothamist
"Written with wit and bite...directed with style...and performed superbly."
- Hy Bender, HyReviews
"A must-see."
- Alyssa Shelasky, Grub Street
"The restaurant world is already so full of absurdity and self-parody that you wouldn't think a comedy show about it could improve on reality. But oh my god, Pig: A Restaurant kills it. The sexually voracious be-hatted critic, the precisely-calculated bad-boy chef, the vacuously hostessing model-slash, the cooking show contestant nearing meat psychosis — everything about it is totally, completely based in reality, and that's what makes it so ridiculously, spectacularly amazing."

This Is Not A Sketch Show: A Sketch Show
Andy Stevens is a real estate agent. Andy Stevens is also a comedian. Put those together and he's a real comedian agent estate, which doesn't make any sense. But put together a comedy theater and an apartment, and you get the UCB Theatre, which is now a rentable living space.
If you'd like to see Andy Steven's comedy show or the apartment, make a reservation. Andy can also be reached at (917) 524-8228. And yes, that's his real phone number.
Starring Brandon Scott Jones, Tim Dunn, Frank Hejl, Brandon Gulya, Jon Gutierrez, Alison Bennett, Beth Appel, Matt Moskovciak, and Ben Stadler
Written by Matt Moskovciak and Ben Stadler
Featuring Patrick Waldo
Directed by Neil Casey
"The big cast is universally good—especially (Brandon Scott) Jones as the smarmy Andy—but the real star here is the writing."
- Time Out New York
"This Is Not A Sketch Show: A Sketch Show creates something unique with the theme and the particular space being used. The result is an elevation of the sketch show to a kind of meta critique of the comedy business."
