This Thursday 1/18 catch the “The Rejection” show, hosted by Jon Friedman, at the UCB Theater in New York. The “Rejection Show” is a comedic based event that embraces the rejected and “turned down” material of professional and amateur writers, comedians, cartoonists, artists, and human beings whom display their creative failures live on stage.
January’s show features the REJECTED material of:
- TOO MUCH LIGHT MAKES THE BABY GO BLIND (The New York Neo-Futurists)
- PETE HOLMES (Sharing video and commentary of a failed standup set)
- ROB LATHAN (Rejected from America’s Got Talent)
“On the surface, The Rejection Show is a mere demonstration of unsuccessful work by usually successful comedians, writers, filmmakers, and cartoonists. Deep down, though, it provides an interesting look into the thought processes of magazine editors, network executives, and others who wield power.” - THE ONION
“If The New Yorker has rejected your cartoon, if ‘SNL’ has fired you, if Conan doesn’t think you’re funny enough, host Jon Friedman just might. The Rejection Show is a pastiche of writers and actors who didn’t make the cut, and its cult audience can’t imagine why.” - AMERICA ONLINE
“Rejection hurts. Luckily, this hurt comes from laughing so hard you pull a muscle.” - FLAVORPILL
