Sweet
COMEDY
There are tons of small comedy houses scattered around the city, but we're pretty sure you
haven't heard of this one - a local gig hosted every Tuesday by Seth Herzog and his gang
of friends (including his mother who loves to get up in front of the small crowd and discuss
her weekly list of grievances).

Slipper Room
BURLESQUE
Shuttered in 2010, the Slipper Room is back, and looking better than ever thanks to a major
renovation. The two-story club hosts a wide range of performances, including Seth
Herzog's popular variety show Sweet and several weekly burlesque shows, which feature a
mash-up of acrobatics, sexiness, comedy and absurdity - generally well worth the admis-
sion. Tickets available online.
