Last Comedy Bingo Show of 2024! Thank you for the support and please comment recs for 2025!

Hi guys! We’re hosting the last Comedy Bingo Show of 2024 this Thursday at 8 PM at our favorite spot, Jack Diamonds (27th and Lex in Manhattan). It’s our home base, and we’d love to see all of you there!

As you already know this isn’t just a comedy show—it’s a night to connect, laugh, and maybe even win a free drink or two with our signature Comedy Bingo. We always encourage everyone to arrive early to mingle, grab a drink, and settle in, and we’d love to hang out post-show too!

But we need your help to make 2025 even better.
We want these nights to feel more inclusive and social for everyone. Here’s where you come in:

1️⃣ What do you love about these events?
2️⃣ What could we do better?
3️⃣ Would you be interested in more pre- and post-show activities?

Shout out to the group 2 weeks ago who organized a pre-show dinner and post-show rooftop bar hang, and it created such an awesome sense of community! We’d love to see more of that and are even thinking about adding a team member dedicated to hosting post-show hangs to keep the fun going while we wrap up the event space. Also, our prizes so far have been free drink tix at the bar. Moving forward should we try to get a variety of prizes for bingo? Which prizes would you want? We want to cater to our friends who don't drink as well.

If you have ideas or feedback (big or small!), drop a comment or message me directly. Whether it’s about making the night more interactive, planning group outings, or just getting better at mingling, we’re all ears.

Don’t forget to reserve your free tickets with promo code BINGO**.**

Thanks for making the end of 2024 so memorable—it’s been a blast hanging out with you all, and we’re excited to keep the good vibes rolling in 2025. Let’s make these nights the best part of the month!

See you Thursday!

COLLEGE RADIO: A Musical Sketch Show on December 6th! Theme: Holiday Music!

Hi all!
My show is going up again at the People's Improv Theater on December 6th at 8:30pm!

A playlist of sketches. Each show in this series is inspired by a musical theme – the playlist could be any genre from punk and party anthems to 70s classics and Broadway musicals. Come hear what musically inspired sketches College Radio has composed!

This December, College Radio is paying tribute to HOLIDAY MUSIC! Hosted by THE REAL Bing Crosby and David Bowie**, the College Radio Holiday Special harkens back to the classic TV specials of the 60s and 70s. Set in Bing Crosby’s holiday mansion, a pack of celebrities are all coming home for the holidays – but there’s one big problem: they can’t find their holiday spirit! Can our celebs save the holidays before it’s too late?

Tickets are $22 online/advance and $25 at the door!

Nuts Factory + Grand Bazaar Flea Market (Grand opening of their Holiday Market) 12/01/2024 1:30pm

Hello all! 36F

I have been dying to try the Dubai Chocolate Strawberry cup at the Nuts Factory so I wanted to make a fun day out of it. The one at Nuts Factory is cheaper and more authentic than the one being served at the Bryant Park holiday market.

We will meet first at the Nuts Factory location at 284 Columbus Ave New York, NY 10023 at around 1:30pm and get our strawberry cups. We will wait for everyone to get their cups.

Afterwards, we will walk on over to the Grand Bazaar, which is a 5 minute walk. It is an indoor/outdoor flea market. December 1st is the grand opening of their holiday market. Proceeds from the flea market helps funds 4 local public schools so it is for a great cause. Flea market closes at 5pm.

If you are interested in going, let me know and I will add you to a group chat.

SERIOUS RSVPS ONLY!

Thank you

12/1 Coffee Mingle 2pm

Hey everyone! I've done many of these coffee mingles now, and they've been really fun and are a great way to meet people. They are a fun way to spend your Sunday afternoon other than running errands. I (32F) started doing these to meet new people, have some fun conversations, and make new connections while checking out cool cafes and parks.

Since it's gonna be pretty chilly tomorrow, let's meet up at the Bushwick Public House and maybe head over to Maria Hernandez Park to hang out and enjoy the December weather if everyone feels like it.

I'll be reusing the chat from last time so if you attended the coffee mingle on 11/17, you should be in there already. For anyone else who's interested, just comment below and I'll add you. Please be respectful and don't be a creep.

Edit: Please leave a comment here if you are interested in attending, please don't just message me. It's easier for me to add people from this post and I sometimes miss the one off messages I get.

Saturday Dec 14th @ NY Aquarium

Hi everyone!

The plan is a nice afternoon at the NY aquarium before walking a short ways down the boardwalk where we can all get Nathan's, visit the candy store next door, and maybe have dinner depending on the time/ weather.

I've been working too much lately and have had almost no free time to do anything in the city, and would love to make new friends and meet new people, around my age 20-25. (I'm 24M)

Ideally we get a group of 4 or 6 people so we don't have an odd-person out. If you are introverted and shy please don't hesitate

Leave a comment and I'll do my best to invite you to a Discord server soon, where we can finalize more in the future! (first time doing one of these so if it goes well there'll be more)

Wicked in 3D - 11/28 Thurs 5PM - AMC Empire 25

This might be of interest to those who are looking to see Wicked again (or like me, first time. Sigh I work weekends.)

Those who saw Wicked in 3D have reported positive experience on this reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/RegalUnlimited/s/5TCfFqrQMB

Seating availability was excellent when I reseved my seat around 10pm tonight.

While I haven’t seen Wicked on Broadway and am not a fan who knows the songs by heart, I do see a lot of theater, including musicals.

I loved the new Mean Girls (2024) that’s based off of the musical.

Join Me For A Cigar At A Cigar Lounge At Approx. 9:30 PM Tonight?

Hey there.

I enjoy the occasional cigar and definitely like the vibe of old-school cigar lounges in the city.

I am 33 M and enjoy travel, business, and meeting people who are doing interesting things and have interesting perspectives.

If a cigar near the village (or could instead go to a spot in midtown if more convenient) sounds like your kind of chill, feel free to send me a chat.

The game:

Nobody knows who's who but thanks to some special powers some people get to know a few things. Then the main round is about influencing, pretending, misleading others until everybody votes who they want to eliminate. Then we reveal who wins and we get to know who were the best liars :)

About the UWS Hangout:

  • Social group on Discord that focuses on activities on the Upper West Side. Each member can propose their own activities. The goal is to have many activities available nearby. However anyone who lives elsewhere and wants to participate is welcome.
