JULIE ALEXANDRIA IS FUNNY.

I have never written a review of this year’s Mets Weekly, given the backlash I got here last year when I dared to voice an opinion on the show. (Jocelyn Smith was a trainwreck and I stand by everything I said.) Julie is awesome. She’s funny, she’s comfortable, she’s not pretentious, she doesn’t look like she’s always worried about her hair getting messed up, she knows her stuff and clearly does her homework. And she’s an actual Mets fan!

If you think she’s funny too, you might want to come see her comedy debut next week, at Comix comedy club in Manhattan, as part of the 12 Angry Mascots sports-comedy show co-hosted by Scott Rogowsky with Neil Janowitz of ESPN the Magazine. Here’s the commercial:

12 Angry Mascots brings together the best sports-themed stand-up and sketch comedy in the city, along with special guest interviews.  Julie will be joined by NY Rangers’ Christopher Higgins (just got traded for Scott Gomez) on the July 30th show, 7:30 pm.  There will also be stand-up from Comedy Central’s Dan Allen and VH1’s Best Week Ever’s Matt Goldich. More info and tickets available here. Comix is located at 353 W. 14th St (just east of 9th Ave).

If it’s a nice night, go take a walk on the High Line later.

I usually do not go for these promotional things but right now it is tough for me to find anything else worthwhile to write about.
