Okayplayer Presents: Shouting at the Screen

Hosted by Wyatt Cenac and Donwill

Back in the days before live-­tweeting, the only way to express your thoughts while watching a movie was to yell them out loud to the delight of your friends, and the disgust of the old people two rows in front of you. Join Wyatt Cenac (Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show”) and Donwill (Tanya Morgan) as they take you back to the 70′s and guide you through an evening of the most outrageous blaxploitation movie classics.

Each month, Shouting at the Screen will present a handpicked black cinema gem; from Black Shampoo to Blacula, to a bunch of other movies from the seventies that have “black” in the title. Donwill and Wyatt (and occasionally ?uestlove) crack wise from the peanut gallery like a non-felt versions of Statler and Waldorf. Get there early to grab a drink, settle in to hear what these jive-talkin’ turkeys have to say, and hang out afterwards to enjoy some of the best funk and soul from the seventies. Ya dig?

The Jukebox

The Jukebox

Karaoke and comedy collide at THE JUKEBOX, a monthly performance series uniting comedians, writers, storytellers and actors around a shared fondness for karaoke. Everyone on the line-up performs something inspired by a song — be it stand-up, a story, or a written piece — then sings that song karaoke. Performers choose their own songs based on the theme for that month’s show; each one is a type of playlist or mixtape, and the theme for this edition is “Home.”

February 18, 2013
Union Hall (702 Union St., Brooklyn)
$10

Lineup and theme to be announce, check back for more details!
