There comes a time in every person’s life when you have to ask the question: Should I spend an evening in close proximity with a 6’7″ comic working through their personal issues? The answer, is of course, a resounding yes! Now that we’re all living in this space together, we highly recommend you go see Drew Drevyanko at Reveler on May 15th—presented by Richmond’s favorite auteurs at The Sunroom, who will be filming the evening as a live comedy special.
Just to give Drevyanko a few more shameless plugs: He’s not just a stand-up regular at New York Comedy Club, Atlantic City Comedy Club, and Soul Joel’s—he’s also opened for Joe DeRosa, Jared Freid, and Joe Machi. Oh, and he is the former Roast Battle Champion of NYC. He also apparently Skyped with Topher Grace one time, and it ruled.
But let’s get real—real, real, since you might still need a little more motivation, Drevyanko, is also a headline writer for The Hard Times (the most jealous we’ve ever been) and is a contributor to McSweeny’s. He’s hilarious on stage. He’s funny in print. You do the math. Because we’ll see you there.
Tickets are $15. Get them HERE. Don’t miss this show.
Also performing: Lucy Bonino and Kade Wonders
Lucy Bonino is weird and her comedy is weird (read our interview HERE.) You’re gonna love her. She’s featured at comedy festivals like San Francisco Sketchfest and West End Comedy Festival and opened for headliners like Dave Attell, Stavros Halkias, Jordan Jensen, and Rachel Feinstein.
Kade Wonders’ comedy is equal parts flippant, clever, and mostly goofy. They’re a regular host for Don’t Tell Comedy Richmond, and has performed at the DC Improv, DC Comedy Loft, Rogue Island Comedy Festival, and Vermont Comedy Festival. They’ve opened for headliners including Ian Lara, Michael Yo, and Alex Hooper.
