Flickr CC CheciapTrapped by technology? We feel you.We hope the few brief hours that Facebook was down last week gave you some perspective in tech-consumed life. Maybe you read a few more pages in Franzen’s Freedom. Or finished that paperwork you neglected all day long. Or even saw The Social…
photos by Chad BonZoo Miami includes plenty of scares on any given day: the horrors of a plethora of seemingly unattended shirtless children, the uneasiness of speculating whether a Sun Bear would be able to jump over the disconcertingly small railing separating you from it, and of course, the terror…
We would call New Times Best Comedian of 2010 Jessica Gross and Borscht Film Festival braintrust member Andrew Hevia a power couple in the Miami arts scene if we weren’t above such crass labeling. Luckily for us, their union has finally produced a creative endeavor: the hysterically raunchy Gross-produced, Hevia-written/directed…
The Indo-Canadian community might not seem like a traditional hotbed of stand-up comedy, but then again, Sugar Sammy isn’t a traditional stand-up comedian. Able to perform in English, French, Punjabi, and Hindi, the well-coiffed jokester quickly broke out when given the opportunity to open for Dave Chappelle, rising from being…

Josh WolfComedian Josh Wolf first got onstage as a smart-ass sixteen year old. He takes the Fillmore stage this Friday for the Comedians of Chelsea Lately tour alongside Sarah Colonna, Brad Wollack, and Loni Love. Wolf will go up as someone who has had TV sitcom development deals, a web-series,…
To be frank, we’ve never been entirely comfortable with our naked bodies. We wake up next to a full-length mirror, have what could politely be described as paunch around our mid-section and were subjected to Eyes Wide Shut at far too young of an age thanks to cable. So when…
Flickr CC GillianIt’ll cure what aills ya’!Everybody wants to be on the cutting edge of what’s funny. He or she with the best viral video is the cock of the walk of their particular domicile. But what about those who don’t have the time or under demanding desk job that…
Ever since George Romero’s zombie classic Dawn of the Dead was released, malls have been the perfect backdrop for horrific, blood-soaked carnage. Young punks have continued the horror by terrorizing you on the way to the food court. (Can you all lay off? We just need our Cinnabon fix.) House…
Miami’s an expensive city. Whether it’s jacked up parking prices, costly concert tickets, or the Lobster cooked in foie gras and opium at that new restaurant on South Beach (worth every penny in this writer’s opinion), a weekend out on the town will leave you more in debt than our…
As parodied on this Saturday’s SNL.In the greatest uproar over public television since Mister Rogers took kids on a tour of his favorite whiskey distillery, Sesame Workshop announced they would pull a segment featuring Katy Perry from future episodes of Sesame Street when parents complained that she was dressed too…
