The Top Secret Comedy Club is set to debut TONIGHT at 44 Avenue A and Third Street (the former Upright Citizens Brigade Theater's UCBeast space).
Signage notes $1 admission (or "pay what you want") for the show starting at 8 p.m. You can visit the Top Secret website for more details and a list of comics.
Owner Mark Rothman, who started the UK-based comedy business 13 years ago, talked with EVG's Stacie Joy about what to expect. You can find that post here.
Game over for 8-Bit Bites on 2nd Avenue
It's game over after two-plus years for 8-Bit Bites on Second Avenue.
An EVG reader shared this photo from the other day, showing that someone has closed up the quick-serve space that served smash burgers, fried chicken sandwiches, and wings alongside retro video games at 77 Second Ave. between Fourth Street and Fifth Street.
Google also reports this location as "permanently closed."
The chainlet's other NYC outposts remain open.
