DC Comedy Gets Respect! The Onion Gives It...

Previously this blog reported the Onion AV Club was to come to The Bomb Shelter for research for "some kind of article." All we knew was that the show was packed and John McBride gave the longest interview of his life (he gets interviewed a lot). So with bated breath we waited to see what would become of The Bomb Shelter's brush with fame. Well it came today in the form of a a sweeping, half page article (In this business, a half page article IS "sweeping") mentioning more than a few shows and more quotes from superstars Seaton Smith and Erin Jackson and even mentions this blog and our very own Mr. Jay Hastings.

We have yet to find the article online but make sure to pick a copy before next Wednesday when it forever vanishes into the ether. Hopefully this article will put a few more people into the seats and give a boost to what truly is a dynamic, talented scene that is ready for a little more exposure. Let's do this, DC!

The Onion's A.V. Club checks out The Bomb Shelter this Thursday!

The Bomb Shelter @ "18th & Red" get's written up by THE ONION'S A.V. CLUB this Thursday, November 8th!!!

The Bomb Shelter is pleased to inform everyone that our showcase was selected to be written up by The Onion's A.V. Club. They'll be reviewing live, local comedy in The District. PLEASE COME SUPPORT THIS SHOW!!! This will be a great line-up of local comics.

The show will include:
Seaton Smith, Kojo Mante, John McBride, Aparna Nancherla, Bryson Turner, and Erin Jackson.

John McBride and Jay are the two guys who run the room, and we would really appreciate the support. This is a huge thing to be featured in The Onion and I'd love for 18th & Red to be packed out with fellow comedians and our friends. We think it's great that the Comedy Newspaper in DC is going to review a locally run comedy show by local comedians. If you are able to come out and support the show we would be very greatful, and you'd be greatful because it's going to be a great show.
