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.

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 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.

First up- SF SKETCHFEST! This marks our fifth time going to the most esteemed of sketch comedy festivals (sixth if you count an appearance with Killing My Lobster in the early aughts). On Saturday, January 13th at the reasonable comedy hour of 5:30pm – Dale will bring an all new show full of wonderful guests and hot sounds and lots of talk about ancient Egyptian curses. 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. Find out how tender things can be when Deep Night with Dale returns to SF Sketchfest in this FREE show! But you should still RSVP – cause that’s a good thing to do. And you can do it here: https://sfsketchfest2018.sched.com/event/CzHL.

THEN NEW YORK CITY – I CAN’T QUIT YOU!! Time to sneak back through the portal and the back alleyways of Laguardia for another show at the world famous Slipper Room on the Lower East Side. Along with the fantastic Cornelius Loy on theremin, Dale will welcome Dulce Sloan, Yedoye Travis, and the groovy sounds of Friends Who Folk (Rachel Wenitsky & Ned Riseley).

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.
