NEW YORK, September 1 -- New Yorkers who are tired and hoarse from yelling
at their TV, radio and computer will appreciate "Town Hall Schmooze,"
a weekly live show mixing humor and politics, free-flowing banter and audience
participation. The series, hosted by Lower East Siders Sam Greenfield and
Yori Yanover, will launch September 21 at Eastville Comedy Club, 85 East
4th Street, with State Senator Daniel L. Squadron as special guest.
The audience is encouraged to ask questions and be part of the program.
One New York celebrity will be featured each week. The show will be of
interest to all New Yorkers, but is especially oriented to the East Village
and Lower East Side. Both of the hosts are Lower East Side residents, living
with their wives and daughters (each has one of each) in the same building
on Grand Street.
Sam Greenfield is a veteran radio host and comic, well known for his unabashed
liberal views and for his gift of gab. He’s been a talking head on Fox
News and MSNBC, and host of his own radio shows on the late, great WEVD
and ultra-liberal WWRL (flagship station of Air America). These days, he
hosts a morning drive show on WVNJ (whose area of coverage misses the Lower
East Side by a hair, but you can hear him online). Sammy also hits the
comedy clubs a few times a month with his hilarious take on the news and
an ideology coming from somewhere between Jane Fonda and Angela Davis.
("It’s where I belong," he insists.)
Yori Yanover ( http://www.yoriyanover.com)
is publisher of The Grand Street News, author of apocalyptic fiction ("The
Cabalist’s Daughter") and non-fiction ("Dancing and Crying,"
"How Would God Really Vote") and, recently, writer/performer
of his own one-man show, "Biodegradable Hero." Yanover’s politics
are a little harder to nail down: he is an observant Jew with views on
many issues that are surprisingly way to the left or way to the right of
what you might expect.
The first guest, reform-minded State Senator Daniel L. "Kid"
Squadron, is a 29 year old Democrat who was elected in 2008 to represent
District 25, which encompasses Downtown Manhattan and parts of Brooklyn.
He grew up in Carrol Gardens and earned his Bachelors at Yale. He has been
an aide to U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer and is co-author of Schumer's book,
"Positively American: Winning Back the Middle Class Majority One Family
at a Time."
The show will take place every Monday night at 8:00 PM this fall, starting
Sept. 21, at Eastville Comedy Club, 85 East 4th St., between 2nd Ave. and
the Bowery. Tickets are $10 plus two drink minimum. For reservations call
(212) 473-7284. Online ticketing and more information are available on
the show's website, http://mondaynightny.com.
