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. Comprising plays written in the decade between 1936 and 1946 - Moony's Kids Don't Cry (1936); The Dark Room (1939); The Case of the Crushed Petunias (1941); The Long Stay Cut Short, or, the Unsatisfactory Supper (1946); and Ten Blocks on the Camino Real (1946) - American Blues represents the second part of Irondale's American Century, the first install

Review: "How To Eat an Orange" Cuts into the Life of an Argentine Artist and Activist

How To Eat an Orange Written by Catherine Filloux Based on the writing of Claudia Bernardi Directed by Elena Araoz Presented by La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club at The Downstairs at La MaMa 66 E 4th St., Manhattan, NYC May 30-June 16, 2024 Paula Pizzi. Photo by Steven Pisano How To Eat an Orange , making its world premiere at La MaMa, does in fact include a real orange as a prop, and its multifarious symbolizations–evoking at different points cultural specificity, family history, matriarchal inheritance, and even a skull–are representative of the play's boundary-blurring, non-linear presentation of memory. The memories in question belong to visual artist, educator, and activist Claudia Bernardi , who lived through several years of her native Argentina's military junta, which held power from 1976 to 1983, before departing her country and eventually settling in the United States. How To Eat an Orange , from Catherine Filloux, a French Algerian American award-winning playwright,
