SUMMARY:Indigo Comedy Night with David Drake
DESCRIPTION:With host Thomas Attila Lewis and featured support \nDavid Drake is a comedian. He is a very funny comedian. He has been featured on Comedy Central\, HBO\, Sirius XM\, Cracked\, Don’t Tell\, and Fox. He was named one of Complex Magazine’s ‘Comics to Watch Under 30\,’ although is now 38\, and one of New York Comedy Festival’s ‘Comics to Watch\,’ but they did not specify any age boundaries. He is a producer of the long-standing New York showcase Comedians You Should Know NYC and a regular at the world-famous Comedy Cellar. With six stand-up albums and three specials under his belt\, including the critically acclaimed Big Break\, David delivers comedy that’s “smart and engaging” (‘The New York Times’) and “endlessly watchable” (‘Humorism’). In addition to stand-up\, he is a five-time reoccurring guest on the popular storytelling podcast ‘Risk!’ and a producer of the traveling outdoor storytelling series ‘Campfire.’ David currently performs nationwide while working out a niche in New York’s legendary comedy scene and sometimes he’ll eat fries off your plate. He feels bad about that. He’s sorry… I’m sorry. I’m David Drake. This was me the whole time.
