      TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY!

      Fridays in November, 4th , 11th & 18th @ 8:00 PM
      Thursdays in December, 1st, 8th, 15th & 22nd @ 8:00 PM

      Tickets: $15.00

      Forget the fact that your 20’s were so long ago. Forget the fact that you've plateaued in your career. Forget the fact that your baby very-likely hates you… In fact, forget everything except that spurn opens THIS WEEK for its TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY EXTRAVAGANZA at the all-new location of The Peoples Improv Theater. The new show deals with the horrors of maturity, from marriage to spawning, and will surely "tickle your funny bone till it screams in agony." (Nylon Newsletter) All this with spurn‘s unique brand of "disgusting, horrifying, amusing" (TimeOut NY) comedy that will no doubt "leave the audience gasping for breath between guffaws". (Village Voice)

      Performances will take place at The PIT, 123 E. 24th Street (between Park & Lex; take the 6 train to 23rd St ). Running time is one hour. Tickets are only $15 for general admission, with a beautiful, full-service bar in the lobby. Drink either before or after the show, or both! For further information, please visit spurn or The Pit. For advance ticket sales, head to brownpapertickets.com(fees apply).

      Meanwhile, bask in the warm, comforting glow of spurn online by subscribing through the iTunes Store or checking out our brand new YouTube channel, getspurned. Stay tuned, new episodes are uploaded every Tuesday.

      As always, spurn tends to sell out quickly. We recommend you buy tickets in advance to ensure seating. See you next week!

      Hi all,

      Sorry, been trying to post this in Events but for some reason kept getting errors. For purely selfish reasons, I vote to have the next Brooklynian meet-up at spurn's ten-year anniversary show!

      Forget the fact that your 20’s were so long ago. Forget the fact that you've plateaued in your career.

      I can do all this for only $15!

      I am so there.

      For better or worse, the change on Nostrand is going to make the change on Franklin look minor.

      Closing night of what's been a fantastic two-month run is tomorrow, so this will be my last flogging of the show.

      THE LAST spurn!
      Thursday, December 22nd @ 8:00 PM
      Peoples Improv Theater (123 E. 24th Street between Park/Lex)
      Tickets: $15

      The 10-year anniversary production of spurn is nearly over, only tomorrow night remains. After Thursday, you will have no more chances to see the nearly sold out production, and you will be sad throughout the holiday season. Sad, I tell you! We leave you with the following critical acclaim for ten years of spurn:

      “…sketch comedy that’s as funny and fresh as your parents say Saturday Night Live used to be.”

      -- Crackle.com

      "... wickedly funny theatre ensemble performs some of the most inventive and original comedy in town."

      -- BlogChelsea.com

      "Creative genius"

      -- Nylon Newsletter

      "Disgusting, horrifying, amusing."

      -- TimeOut NY

      "Leaves its audience gasping for breath between guffaws as its relentlessly funny skits whip past us... the nimble ensemble leaps effortlessly between vignettes, giving the show a blessed fluidity for such a wrenching satiric picture."

      -- The Village Voice

      "Consistently funny... spurn shares (Kids in the Hall's) hard-edged, envelope-pushing, vaguely absurdist sensibility."

      -- New York Theatre Experience

      "Side-splitting."

      -- Citysearch.com Editorial

      For further information, visit http://www.spurn-nyc.com or the PIT schedule page schedule page. For advance ticket sales, head to brown paper tickets. Subscribe to spurn online through the iTunes Store or visit our new YouTube channel, getspurned, which currently features our classic, Doppelgäng Fight, written by comedian and YouTube sensation, Rob Paravonian.
