• Ryan Paulson: "I'm Uncomfortable" at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre in New York
Wed., Jan. 13, 8 p.m. Tix: $5

Ryan Paulson grew up speaking in tongues in his ultra-conservative church.  He even wanted to be a pastor.  But he gave all that up and moved to New York City  in search of sex, alcohol and self-pleasure - only to be told he looks like Matt Damon's lesbian sister and to be threatened with "God's raft."  "Ryan Paulson: I'm Uncomfortable" is a comedy about learning how to sin in a place that's full of it.  Comedy, music... uncomfortableness.
