FREE Daily Show and Friends at Central Park

The Bay's best newsletter for underground events & news


Between TV, the internet and live tapings, there are lots of ways to watch the Daily Show without paying anything But getting tickets to a live taping involves planning several months ahead and winning a random lotto. If that kind of long term planning is beyond you, just get yourself to Central Park tonight for the “Daily Show and Friends.”

No, the Daily Show is not forming a spin-off cartoon featuring barnyard animals ala Garfield. Instead, it’s a night of stand-up hosted by Lewis Black featuring John Oliver, Wyatt Cenac, Rob Riggie and Rory Albanese on Central Park’s SummerStage. The best part is that it’s completely FREE, so all you need to do is show up and grab a chunk of grass.

Daily Show and Friends
Rumsey Playfield, Central Park [Manhattan]
Entrance near 68th street and 5th Avenue
Wednesday, July 21 8pm
FREE

Kiley E - Ragamuffin Researcher

After years of denial, Kiley has finally admitted to baring a striking resemblance to Velma from Scooby Doo. Instead of traveling in a van hunting ghosts, she prefers wandering on foot in search of tacos, cheap beer, and fake birds. Growing up in Portland, Kiley enjoyed the balance of urban and green spaces. Then she spent her four years at Ithaca College, and found herself craving more sprawling asphalt in her life. So she moved to Williamsburg, Brooklyn, where most of the buildings look like they're about to collapse. Kiley's favorite activities include: getting lost, crafting, sewing, biking, and geeking out at museums. Her love of taxidermy probably makes her a terrible vegetarian, but she doesn't care.
