GABRIEL MAYERS
Gabriel Mayers is an artist’s artist. You may have heard him in the subway competing with rush hour traffic, caught a rare club performance, or stumbled across his Bandcamp page. If you have, you know it only takes a few chords for his soulful voice to cut through the cacophony of train cars and clinking glasses to catch your attention. For him, music isn’t about the money; it’s about stopping strangers in their tracks to share in a communal experience. And it’s working, as people literally miss their trains home to hear him sing in the subway station, with nothing but a ukulele for backup.

#PATEL2016
I shot a very small "special" in 2016. A year of election jokes, taped over 4 shows. Before you vote, after you vote, while you're waiting on line to vote, watch this. Political jokes that I might not be allowed to do ever again, at the best venue for jokes on the planet, Comedy Cellar. God bless America.
