It’s that of the month again when my friend Lily and I have put together another (hopefully) interesting and diverse lineup of interviews over at Gothamist. We start this week with comedy producer Jeff Singer. Jeff produces Eating It, a weekly comedy show every Monday night at Luna Lounge. (Luna is, of course, co-owned by one of our first interviews from back in August, Rob Sacher.) Jeff has been working in comedy for quite a while, first as an agent and manager, and then segueing into producing. He was the talent producer for Comedy Central’s (unfortunately) recently cancelled Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn, and considering how funny the comics were on that show, he was obviously good at the job. For us, he provides some really interesting insight into the current comedy scene.
If you’ve never been to Eating It, you’ve got two more chances to check-out the show before the end of 2004: tonight and next Monday. The lineups for each look fun, and while I can’t go tonight, I’m definitely hoping to check-out Todd Barry and friends next week. Meanwhile, check-out Jeff’s interview. He certainly doesn’t “eat it.”
