We’re sorry to say that because of the CMJ festival moving into town, we won’t be doing a Ground Williams show in October. Luckily, if you just can’t stand the thought of not seeing comedy shows hosted by Nate Kushner and Matt Little, there’s going to be a pretty SPOOKriffic edition of Movies vs. Humans you can go to.
We’ll be turning the month of October into the month of SHOCKtember, when we present the movie Hausu at the second Movies vs. Humans show!
You know how Japanese commercials are weird? What would happen if one of the weirdest of the Japanese commercial directors wrote a horror movie with the help of his 7-year-old daughter?
Well, what would happen is you’d get a feature film where this video is nowhere near the weirdest thing that happens.
This free show is Thursday, October 29th at 9:30, at the Creek: 10-93 Jackson Ave in Queens, accessible by the E, G, or V.
Movies vs. Humans!
Hey, thanks so much for coming on Tuesday. All the performers were terrific, and we had a terrific time, and we got to play a particularly rousing round of “World’s Dumbest Would You Rather?”! We’re going to get the highlight reels from the last couple of GW shows up real soon, including this weeks’, so you are encouraged to stay tuned, or even to subscribe to this blog’s RSS feed.
The next Ground Williams Show is Tuesday, October 20, with guests to be announced really soon.
But Ground Williams is now not your only chance to get hosted by me and Matt. We proudly unveil our new monthly show, Movies vs. Humans! This is a free screening series of some of our favorites from our vast library of inept, ill-conceived, and batshit crazy cinema classics. The first show is next Wednesday, September 30th, at the Creek in Long Island City (I swear, it’s not hard to get to at all.), and will feature special guests Dan Chamberlain (amfmpm.org) and Jeff Rubin (collegehumor.com).
Next show is Tuesday, September 22!
Hey Ground Williamsians!
We’re back this coming Tuesday with a fresh set of hot to death comedy that is guaranteed to Krush Groove your ass back to Beat Street, then push your whip up past 88 like we were rockin’ a DMC. Fat Boys.
Plus bit and character pieces that combine the 5 elements of hip-hop so well, you’ll wanna throw a “S” on our chests.

“‘Tis an ill wind that blows no minds,” says the ancient poet. In other words, all attendees who come to this Ground Williams Show should bring their minds and prepare to get blown.

Next Show - Tuesday, July 14!
Hold on to your hats, and have your hats hold on to their tinier hat-hats, because the GW is back! This show is loaded with “talent.” I use quotes there because sometimes people refer to prostitutes as talent, and not only do these people have real talent, but you’d also want to fuck them. FOR MONEY!
Plus bits that will make you want to punch a horse, then hug it because you can’t control the awesome emotions flowing through your body.

Thanks to everyone who came out to the show! It was a really great time. We’re going to try to cut together a 5 minute highlight reel from every show…a joke or two from each comic, and a little bit of our segments. Hopefully, we’ll also get better at editing these together, and not leaving the camera in widescreen mode.
NEXT SHOW IS 6/30/09 AT 8:30PM! LINEUP TO BE ANNOUNCED SOON!
Ground Williams PREMEIRE Show Tuesday, June 9 at 8:30 pm!
