Nimesh Patel on Broken Comedy Can you describe the setting?

We’re at a Thai Resturuant at 15th and 8th in New York City, in Chelsea. It’s real romantic in here. I’m having the Drunken Noodle. It’s a rice noodle dish with basil and it’s really good.

Good choice.

Thank you.

Can you tell me about your show?

So the show is called Broken Comedy. It’s at Bar Matchless in Brooklyn. Starts at 9 on Mondays. I run it with my good friends Michael Che and Mike Denny. It’s the best comedy show in New York City on Monday nights.

What was it--? Time Out said it was the third best-?

According to Time Out Magazine, like three weeks ago…

Just that week.

Yeah, just that Monday, we were the best thing to d- We were number three out of five- Right in the middle of the things. “Y’all should probably go to this. You don’t have to.” It’s the bronze metal of shows.

Sometimes you get big names.

Yeah like this week, Aziz dropped in! That was crazy. He just dropped in, did thirty minutes.
