This week in boys

The hilaaaaarious Adam Newman will return from New York to make comedy TONIGHT at Relapse Comedy Theater with some other hanger-oners for what they are calling New York Comedy Takeover Weekend. Perhaps you know Adam from when you were a straight-edge high schooler in the late ’90s Marietta screamo scene, or from when you were a boozer in Athens. OR, better yet, you know him from his latest gigs as the semi-naked guy in various dorm settings on College Humor TV.

Here are some of Adam’s greatest hits, as determined by me:
- His post on shorts, which led to him becoming Manhattan’s man shorts expert
- “If Things Turned Out Differently” on CHTV
- Celebrity lookalike stand-up
- Blues Traveler stand-up
- His appearance on the Tyra Banks Show earlier in the spring:

- This 105% zinger
- Just These Dudes
- Any time he blogs as Carl Winslow
- His role as an extra in a gay porn:

I hope this convinced you to blow off Obama and Thomas Wheatley’s liveblogging in order to patronize some stand-up comedy. If you still need to know more, you can read about Adam in the Flagpole (he’ll be doing a two-night special at Flicker in Athens also) or on his Tumblr.

Thursday (tonight), 8 PM, $5, 380 14th Street
