#27 opening night cabarets at the brick theater
Every festival at the Brick begins with a free “cabaret” previewing the season’s shows.

Because all you need for Shakespeare in the Park is Shakespeare and a park, Smith Street Stage presents the Bard’s comedy of shipwrecks, transvestism and merriment. June 27-July 1; July 3-8. Smithstreetstage.org
#30 big terrific at cameo gallery
Gabe Liedman and Max Silvestri’s weekly comedy night features drop-bys from many of your other favorite Brooklyn-based viral and rising TV stars. We’ve never been—we don’t really care for comedy, as a rule—but assume it is zany. cameony.blogspot.com
