The Apiary

Eugene Mirman and Bobby Tisdale brought their celebrated friends to The Bowery Ballroom for a year-end Invite Them Up blowout. NOTES --The show was sponsored by SuperDeluxe.com , a promising looking broadband network produced by Turner that is launching in January. More info HERE. --Many of the night's performers have stuff in development with SuperDeluxe. --A lucky Random Audience Member was presented a 250 dollar wad of CASH on-stage with the condition that she somehow use that money to make a video for SuperDeluxe. Seconds after being handed the money, she crazily raced through the venue tossing it into the air. -- BIG POPS: Reggie Watts on mouthsex, Kristen Schaal and Kurt Braunohler (as Jesus) having a Dirty Dancing moment to " (I've Had) The Time of My Life ," and Jon Glaser's wicked heel turn as Jonny Attitude. -- Daniel Kitson was SPOTTED enjoying some cotton candy with John Oliver . Anyone know what Kitson is up to here? --John Oliver has never heard of Ween. --Not as big a crowd as last year's show. One blogger is wondering whether the turnout is a measure of a burst comedy bubble . Eugene Mirman gave a starstruck fan an "aneurysm of joy" less than 2 days ago in LA, so we think it has more to do with the promotion than anything else and that the bubble is a-okay. --More pics from the show at the ITU MySpace page . Gabe Leidman & Jenny Slate do a solid impression of the Indigo Girls 69-ing each other Jonny Attitude, we thought you were sincere Paul F. Tompkins
