Friends with a Benefit at Town Hall (08.29/10)
(Buy Tickets)
This show probably doesn’t need my help, but the lineup looks pretty cool and it literally “flew” right under my radar until a couple of days ago. Friends with a Benefit is actually a benefit for the American Bird Conservancy (aren’t we all ornithologists at heart) and its happening at NYC’s historic Town Hall on August 29, 2010. The advance publicity promises an evening of live entertainment featuring MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow in conversation with PRI’s Ira Glass. The show is being hosted by 30 Rock‘s Scott Adsit and Christina Gausas and also features comedians Mike Birbiglia, Michelle Collins and Jamie Kilstein and musicians Lucy Wainwright Roche, Barkuna and Erin McKeown.
