Another Season of Deep Night with Dale Comes to a Close

On Weds, May 15th at 8pm, the latest season of the podcast/talk show Deep Night with Dale comes to an end. With an all-star lineup of amazing guests, including a certain Seever family member making her Deep Night debut – this one is not to be missed. If you like the terrific show The Tick, we’ve got Griffin Newman who plays Arthur – the heart and soul of that fine show. The very funny comedian Emmy Blotnick is making her return to the program after many years. Emmy was one of our earliest guests when we used to do the show in a prop shop basement along the Gowanus. What will things be like now that we’re above ground? Lindsey Broad made a name for her self by almost breaking up Jim and Pam on TV’s The Office! SCANDAL! Now she’s on a brand new show, In The Dark – and it just got renewed, so maybe we can finally talk about other stuff! And Sammus, the brilliant, dazzling rapper/performer/phD is coming up from Philly to blow Dale’s mind. Will she bring that giant mega-man arm she sometimes performs with? Again – so many questions. Get tickets here: http://www.slipperroom.com/event/1845263-guest-event-deep-night-dale-new-york/ and maybe get some answers!

In the meantime -we can all enjoy this beautiful poster artwork from illustrator Laurent Hrybyk. Laurent is in Baltimore and was able to capture Dale’s slow descent back into the timestream/Gowanus along with his trusty pigeon (finally reunited after a series of mishaps if you’ve been following the story of the posters this season). Anyway – we’re really happy to have Laurent’s image here and hope to see you at the Season Finale May 15th at The Slipper Room.

Back from the Desert and Ready for Parent’s Art Night 2019

Always exciting to let my alter ego drop in for an intimate show at Jalopy to celebrate Parents Art Night, a benefit and fun time produced for PS 29. This show is fun and the only way for me to make up for a disastrous auction appearance from a year ago. Will I be able to redeem myself in the eyes of drunk parents eating free chips sitting in old church pews in a tiny space along the Columbia Waterfront? Who knows. But look at it this way, free chips.

So yes, we flew back from a work trip to Palm Springs and Joshua Tree to make it back in time for this show – so if you’d like to attend – you totally should. Drinks, song, a little comedy, and the aforementioned chips. Plus lots of jokes about parenting that I can’t really do anywhere else. You want to hear a tight five on how much I hate slime and youtube stars? This is the show for you.

Here’s the info:
This art night brings parents together to celebrate their creativity! We’ll enjoy 2 hours of comedy, musical performances, readings, and good old fun all served up by the talented parents and alumni of the PS29 community! Tuesday, April 16th @ Jalopy Theatre, 8-10pm.

Purchase tickets here for $40 per person, includes 2 drinks and light snacks. (So I guess the chips aren’t exactly free, but still – chips!)

And ohmygod, we had a good time in Palm Springs, Phoenix, and Joshua Tree. I posted way too many pictures of cacti over on instagram. But I’m still putting one here, because look at that thing. Amazing.

Next Deep Night is Live 3/13/19

One of the most delightful aspects of producing Deep Night with Dale, is working with my talented guests and finding amazing illustrators to design the posters for the shows. Now, usually these posters get circulated digitally, but I often print up a few and keep them in the Deep Night archives. This month’s Deep Night poster features artwork by New York-based artist Katherine Lam. She sent a few rough ideas, and I loved all of them (from moody interiors of modern apartments to Dale looking out into a rainy night) but the one that lept out at me was the one featured here – with the large pigeon looming in the background and Dale looking like the next star of True Detective.

Dale might not be solving any crimes (or will he?!) on the next live show on Weds, March 13th at The Slipper Room – but you should definitely come out to see the show which features an amazing lineup of comedians and writers that I have been eager to get on the show for years. Join Dale and his guests Todd Barry, Monroe Martin, Mallory O’Meara, and Alex Song. Plus Cornelius Loy will be playing the theremin and 96B will be filling the tiny stage with movement. Tickets are available here: http://www.slipperroom.com/event/1828043-guest-event-deep-night-dale-new-york/

Deep Night with Dale Launches 2019 with Coast to Coast Shows!

Deep Night with Dale turns 10 this year, and to celebrate we’re kicking things off with back to back shows on both coasts! First up, we return for our sixth appearance at SF Sketchfest with a brand new spin on the format that started it all. While the podcast is only ten years old, Dale really started his career in comedy in the basement at Cafe Du Nord as part of the Killing My Lobster Kabaret, seventeen years ago. Variety shows are in his bones, so he decided he’d assemble an all-star roster of comedians and interesting people to put on a variety event like no other. With a focus on the future, Dale’s welcoming old friends and new for the first ever Deep Night with Dale’s Vortex Variety Hour as part of SF Sketchfest. Ticket and information lives over on sfsketchfest.com. The lineup includes a very special surprise guest, The Templeton Philharmonic, Francesca Fiorentini, Sureni Weerasekera, a new work from Peter Sinn Nachtrieb, a visit from the long-lost Comics of the Future, music from Agouti and an interview with future-expert, Rose Eveleth! Plus a short video from Cole Kush. Sunday, January 13th 8pm. At Piano Fight.

Then Dale returns to NY with the first live show of 2019 – an extraordinary episode of Deep Night featuring guests Maria Dizzia (Orange is the New Black), X Mayo (The Daily Show with Trevor Noah), Katie Hannigan (The Late Show with Stephen Colbert), and musician Vera Sola (new album Shades). Plus we have CUSHIONS playing music and movement throughout by The Deep Night Dancers, 96B Dance Theatre. Info on that one up on deepnightshow.com.

DEEP NIGHT BACK TO BACK COAST TO COAST SHOWS

DID YOU MISS DALE?! He missed you. And he felt the bomb cyclone and the earthquakes and he said – you know what, my audience needs a little touch of the Deep Night! Convinced you were summoning him to both the East and West Coasts, Dale’s planned two big shows for you to enjoy.

Join him as he welcomes all-time favorite Michelle Buteau; new fave Becky Braunstein; and the witches behind the cult radio sensation, Astral Projection Radio Hour. Plus music from Bay Area superstars, Yea-Ming and The Rumours! It’s happening at the cozy winter hangout, Piano Fight, in the city’s glorious Tenderloin District.

DEEP NIGHT SEASON 10 BEGINS 9/20!

Friends. Dale’s looking forward to seeing you at The Slipper Room on Weds, September 20th at 8pm for the live Season 10 premiere of the Deep Night podcast. Dale’s got a terrific lineup of guests – most of whom are still covered in body glitter after attending the recent Emmy Awards. We’re finding comedy in dark places with Matt Rogers (Las Culturistas), Rae Sanni (The President Show), Kristen Bartlett (SNL), and Melinda Taub (Full Frontal with Samantha Bee). For tickets and more info visit:
http://www.slipperroom.com/event/1519641-guest-event-deep-night-dale-new-york/.

All of these guests are helping to define and contextualize and offer relief from our current political moment. Meanwhile – Dale is fresh off his stint as spiritual consultant to the catering staff at some of NY’s hottest fashion events for New York Fashion Week. His turtleneck is pressed, his owlmulet gleaming, and his demons are mostly in check. Don’t miss this opportunity to celebrate the tenth season of the show and to learn more about essential oils from a licensed regional distributor.

And after this live event tune into the podcast for more great conversations. But really – come to the event. Dale promises a good time.

Deep Night Takes on Late Night in NYC!

Dale is thrilled to discuss the legacy of late night television and the artful role of host with three terrific guests who explore this topic (among other things) in their work. Dale welcomes critic and New York Times columnist, Jason Zinoman to talk about his new, essential book, Letterman: The Last Giant of Late Night. Then the conversation will expand to include two contemporary hosts, comedians Maeve Higgins and Ike Ufomadu. Maeve of course hosts the popular podcast, Maeve in America and is a frequent all star guest/co-host on Star Talk, along with Eugene Mirman and Neil deGrasse Tyson. Ike Ufomadu is a stand up and comedic performer who has taken on the form of late night talk show and reinvented it, retooled it, deconstructed it, and put it back together again. He’s an artist in residence at Joe’s Pub along with some other terrific Deep Night alumni, and Dale is eager to hear his take on the influence of these folks behind the desks.
We’ll be joined once again by the delightful Cornelius Loy on theremin and perhaps Dale will work his conjuring magic to summon forth an additional guest! Or maybe he’ll just practice some crystal therapy on the guy who always sits in the front row! Either way, it will be a wonderful show and we hope to see you there.

Oh and a special thanks to the very gifted Candice Broersma for her illustration of Dale and his mystical pigeon on the newest poster series. Check out her work and have her draw everything. She’s terrific.

DETAILS! Weds, May 10th 8pm/doors at 7pm, The Slipper Room
167 Orchard Street (Entrance on Stanton)
Tickets are $12/10 or VIP seating at $25.
