@TheOtherYates @KunkelTron Hahahaha. Exactly

[V.C. Chickering @vcchickering]

@KunkelTron Oh it’s definitely a thing. Your reader is probably too young to know

[V.C. Chickering @vcchickering]

@wendyshanker @FeliciaMichaels Heck yeah! The Soul of Wit, co-produced with @mrmattwalsh in 1997!

If only there was a feature doc on the Night of a Hundred Stars at Luna with interviews about NYC’s alt comedy scene in 1997. Oh, wait, there is: The Soul of Wit. Who wants to see it?

Group comedy photo from Luna Lounge in NYC back in the day day. I see a couple of original UCB’ers and plenty of Stand-ups. Who do you see? So sorry I don’t know who took the pic. #alternative #comedy #lunalounge #ucb #standup

@birbigs @FeliciaMichaels @davidwain Hey, there’s a feature doc about that night in 1997 with lots more photos and sweaty, compelling, hilarious interviews done a week later. Directed by Tori Chickering and co-produced with @mrmattwalsh, it’s never been released. Wanna see it? @marcmaron

[V.C. Chickering @vcchickering]

@CHOCGENINC @birbigs @FeliciaMichaels @davidwain That’s addressed in the documentary, The Soul of Wit, shot that evening and edited with interviews at @mrmattwalsh and Leo’s apt a week later.

[V.C. Chickering @vcchickering]

@Spirometer @WhaleCave @FeliciaMichaels @SamSeder It was at Luna. February of 1997. Bitter, cold night. 100 acts each got :45 seconds on stage. UCB emceed. Ian was The Timekeeper. You would have remembered…
