Legendary Queens-based podcasting duo Keith and The Girl will be holding their annual 24-hour comedy marathon beginning Saturday, January 30 @ 3pm EST, as more than 50 of their fans’ favorite guests will make appearances to celebrate their 16th year of podcasting. The entire program will be conducted remotely, with hosts Keith Malley and Chemda broadcasting from their homes. Viewers around the world can tune in for free on the Keith and The Girl YouTube channel.

Keith and The Girl (KATG) is a fast-paced comedy podcast that records five days a week in New York City. The show takes the form of a daily conversation about relationships, comedy, current events and more. Keith and The Girl began in March 2005, making it one of the longest-running podcasts in existence. “You guys got me started to begin with,” praises WTF host Marc Maron. “You were the original podcast people.” Keith and The Girl has an expansive and loyal audience, and Keith and The Girl fans enthusiastically support personalities highlighted on the show, traveling from all over to see stand-up and performances of their favorite KATG guests.

Among the guests already confirmed to appear on January 30-31 are Jim Norton (SiriusXM Radio), Ophira Eisenberg (NPR’s Ask Me Another), Myq Kaplan (Conan), Christian Finnegan (Chappelle’s Show), Steve Schirripa (Bobby Bacala from The Sopranos), and more, including surprise celebrity guests who will drop in unannounced.

The marathon, which has been a staple of the Keith and The Girl podcast since 2008, was funded after raising over $25,000 of their Kickstarter goal.

Those who contributed to KATG’s Kickstarter will also soon receive The Dad Emails - The Book, a collection of email exchanges between Keith posing as his ex-wife and Keith’s creepy, unsuspecting father, a saga which has played out on the podcast over the course of the past year.

“It’s all there,” Keith says. “It’s all there in all it’s disgusting undeniable detail.” Malley then vomited.

Keith and The Girl’s 2021 24-hour marathon begins Saturday, January 30 @ 3pm EST and will last uninterrupted through Sunday, January 31 @ 3pm EST. Again, viewers can watch the entire program for free at katg.com/marathon.

Photo by Natasha Rotondaro In 1948, Tennessee Williams published American Blues , a collection of five one-act plays, and a remarkable new production of this collection by Brooklyn's Irondale shows that these works have lost none of their power to both entertain and challenge audiences in the intervening three-quarters of a century.

Review: Nancy Redman’s "A Séance with Mom" Conjures Mother-Daughter Hilarity and Love

A Séance with Mom Written by Nancy Redman Directed by Austin Pendleton Presented at Chain Studio Theatre 312 W. 36th St., Manhattan, NYC April 20-23, 2023 [Update 5/1/23: shows added May 24-June 4, 2023 (no performance May 29)] Nancy Redman Nancy Redman appears onstage, a simple table in front of her, a walker off to the side. Within seconds, we are immersed in a séance involving two then three then four characters—all emerging from only Redman. Redman plays Nadine, a woman who has something urgent to address with her dead mother, Gussy. Redman manages multi-faceted character work, each character in conversation with the other, complete with different gestures, accents, and mannerisms. The effect is riveting and, ultimately, deeply cathartic. The heart of the show comprises Nadine’s mission to reach her mother through a séance in order to talk. An unwitting rabbi plays the bumbling gatekeeper to the spirits in the séance, while Nadine’s something—actually several somethings—to tell her
