Mo Pitkin’s House of Satisfaction: No Name and a Bag of Chips

This past Friday I was feeling pretty down, not really in the mood to do anything at all, which is incidentally why I’ve been slow to update this blog lately. But of course I had to fulfill my requirement of at least one New York cultural event a week, and I was already downtown so I wanted to try and do something. I didn’t have much of a plan at that point, but I do have a short, unofficial list of things and places that I ultimately feel I need to visit in this city. Mo Pitkin’s House of Satisfaction was one of these places. 

As it turns out, I picked a pretty good time to drop by, because when I got there I was pointed upstairs to a completely free show, “No Name and a Bag of Chips.” Of course, this in itself wasn’t enough to rouse me from my exceptionally sour mood, but I had nothing better to do so I figured I’d give it a shot.

I have to say that after realizing the comics in the room outnumbered the guests, I was a little put off, but it actually didn’t matter. These hearty souls put on one hell of a show, including magic, standup, and stories that not only put me more at ease but actually had me laughing and feeling pretty good by the end. Such is the power of comedy. 

I also learned for the first time what a powerful word “blog” can be. After the show I mentioned this project to one of the comics (who were amicably hanging out around the bar for a little while after the show) and was immediately taken to be introduced to pretty much all the rest of them. Now as most people who know me are probably aware, I don’t exactly like being the center of attention, but all the same it was kind of cool. I’d like to make a special mention of one particular comedian, Nancy Lombardo, who was engaging both on and off the stage and encouraged me to meet the rest of the cast.

The Bottom Line

Friday evening entertainment in this city is rarely cheap and almost never free. In that respect, this show was already a diamond in the rough, but the fact that it was actually entertaining enough to bring me out my sullen state scores some major extra points in my mind. There was a one item (food or drink) minimum, standard NYC bar pricing, but I doubt anyone would press you about it, and in any case it’s a small price to pay considering. The show was great, the people were friendly and the price was right, so the bottom line is, get your butt to Mo Pitkin’s for “No Name and a Bag of Chips” next time you’re looking for something to do on a Friday night!
