Insert Recommendation Here
With Summer rapidly approaching, The Apiary is beginning to feel restless and in need of inspiration. We're embarking on a comedy show bender the next two weeks. Does anyone have ideas on what we should see? The best sounding suggestions will be featured right here on these web pages.

If you want a comprehensive list of comedy shows, I just happened to find this earlier in the day:
It's an insanely detailed listing of lots of cool shows, and it looks like he updates it every day or week. They are pretty much all shows and people I have heard of, so that hopefully means they are good. Here are his older pages:

Come to PVC tonight, Sloan!
Cheryl B. Presents
PVC: The Poetry Vs. Comedy Variety Show

Tim will be representing the menfolk alongside Jawnee Conroy (Broin’ Out at UCB) and Shawn Hollenbach (Host of HERE TV’s Busted) who will be venturing out from his usual spot behind the judge’s table and joining with Jenny Rubin for the briliance that is BrYan and Rexxx! The balls will battle it out against Margaret Dodge (Manson Family Singers), Margot Leitman (Late Night with Conan O'Brien) and Becky Yamamoto (Ars Nova)! Michele Carlo (It Came From New York), Ann Carr (Comedy Central's Motherload) and Tionna Smalls (RADAR) will judge.

Check out the new UCB show "Couple's Skate" Monday nights at 11pm in June. "Couple's Skate" takes top UCB improvisers that have never before performed together and pairs them up for exciting and unpredictable two-person sets. Monday June 1st features: Porter Mason of "The Scam" with Chelsea Clark of "Bangs," Charlie Sanders of "Reuben Williams" with Matt DeCoster of "DeCoster," and John Daly of "Mother" with "30 Rock" writer and "Let's Have a Ball" performer Tami Sagher. Once in a lifetime pairings. A must see for improv junkies.

"Sporknotes" is a 45 Minute set of Intellectual mockery and Literary blasphemy, set in motion by audience suggestions of both Classic & Obscure Literature, the troupe of improvisers and actors bring the stories to life with little to no knowledge of the story line, guided only by online student study guides!
