The show was surprisingly good quality, especially given the Monsoon outside that would have kept any sane New Yorker indoors. Esther Ku was very good live, but the other acts were outstanding, especially the headliner, Mad Dog.
Very funny.
I loved Esther and the other comedians that were there except for one. Victor was kind of a dry spell and it became a really awkward set instead of a humorous set.
My girlfriend and I loved her but our only complaint was that her set was too short while lesser comics were on longer!
Esther was hilarious! only downside was that the show started about 20 minutes late and it took about 1 1/2 hours for Esther to go on, a bit long, but worth it!!
i think the best comedian was actually the m-cee. it wasnt bad but i was a little disappointed by the featured comedian. There were some other good fillers throughout the night... I had a laugh or two...
Esther Ku officially began her stand-up career in Boston where she shared the stage with Doug Stanhope, Steven Wright, Jonathan Katz and Teddy Bergeron. For a hot second the team "Ku and the Jew" ruled the club--until they were fired by the bartender. She now resides in Brooklyn and travels the country entertaining audiences with her all-American bratty charm and infamous maniacal laugh. Preconceived notions of Asians and women, and Asian women, specifically, are dispelled within seconds of her gracing the stage. Her delightful demeanor and deadpan observational humor incite hysteria wherever she goes.
In 2008, Ku was selected as the only female comedian from New York City to advance to the Las Vegas Semi-Finals in NBC’s "Last Comic Standing." In Vegas, she advanced to the house portion of the reality show to become a "Last Comic Standing" Season 6 Finalist, where she annoyed the hell out of everybody with her laugh. She has been a featured regular in the Boston International Comedy Festival and the New York Underground Comedy Festival. She has performed in the hit comedy Shear Madness, the longest-running non-musical play in American theatre history.
