Giant Tuesday
Night of Amazing Inventions And Also There Is A Game!!!"
is a weekly extravaganza showcasing New York City's best stand-up, sketch,
character and musical comedy.
The show is the creation of international pseudostar
Francisco Guglioni, who himself is a creation of NYC comedian Andrés
du Bouchet. In his native country of Boliviguay, Francisco has received
the Entertainer-of-the-Year award a record six times, no small feat considering
that Boliviguay is an Extravaganzocracy, where virtually every citizen
is the host of their own show.
In a bid to separate "Giant Tuesday Night..."
from the herd, and to attract an American following, Francisco has relocated
the show and its entire menagerie of hilarious characters to Manhattan's
East Village. According to Francisco, "After researching the city
carefully, I decided that the East Village would be the neighborhood most
receptive to a hilarious variety show combining cutting-edge stand-up,
sketch, character-based and musical comedy with the extremely loosely
and inconsistently attended-to premise that it all has something to do
with amazing inventions. And of course, also there is a game." Guglioni
then added, "For example, this one time we did a bit about pants
that can tell the future. We called them 'Antici-pants'. True story."
In addition to its enthusiastically flabbergasted host and the stellar
guest comics that perform every week, GTN boasts a talented core of regular
actor/writers who portray a menagerie of entertaining characters that
pop in and out of each show, presenting inventions or just giving Francisco
a hard time. |
