THE MOON: SEASON 5 FINALE

The days are short, like the nubby fingers of overworked hands. Time seems even
less abundant than energy, which is itself in dwindling supply. You go to the
tank for that extra spurt to stay awake riding the subway from office job to
temporary retail position and it just isn’t there. The energy just isn’t fucking
there anymore.

That’s why The Moon is here to fill you up! Come to Union Pool, this Sunday,
December 15 at 8PM, for a Special Sunday Moon crammed with enough Music and
Holiday Cheer to put you back on F! 

With All-Singing, All-Special Guests!


 * Dave Hill (Author of Tasteful Nudes, Guitarist of Valley Lodge)
 * The Gregory Brothers (Auto-Tune the News, Billboard Hot 100)
 * Stuckey & Murray (Last Comic Standing, Guy Code)
 * John Early (Showgasm, “Literally Me” at ARS Nova)
 * Andy Burri (Guitarist of Lucius, Friend of Moon)
 * Reformed Whores (“Ladies Don’t Split” LP, CBS’ The Doctors)
 * Matt Starr (Upright Citizens Brigade)
 * Kenny Pickett (CHIKARA Pro)

Hosted by The Moon Players: Bob Walles, Nat Towsen, Jordan Clifford, Camille
Harris, and Tim Skinner!

And most importantly, you! We’ll have sing-alongs throughout the night, drink
deals, The Moon Library, and the Forbidden Planet NYC Comics Give-A-Way, all
with your good health and happiness in mind! 

So drag yourself out of the cold and dark and come sing with us at the top of
your lungs. Because honestly, if you miss The Moon end-of-year special, then
it’s going to be your fault when you inexplicably start crying into your candy
cane latte on Monday morning.

$5 / 21+

Brooklyn, NY 11211


Take the G to Metropolitan or the L to Lorimer. If you are driving, don’t forget

Ahhh, December in New York. Falling leaves give way to falling snow, which in

happening downtown…

Thank You

In the spirit of the season, we’d like to thank everyone who has supported us
over the past five years. As we near the final show of our fifth season, we know
we couldn’t have made it this far without all of you. So thank you to everyone
who has every come out to The Moon, laughed, cheered, booed, and hopefully had a
great time. Thank you to everyone who has performed with us. And thank you to
all the people who have worked hard behind the scenes to make nearly 100 shows
over the past five years possible.

We’d also like to specifically thank all of the people who made our 82nd Show
possible. First, let us thank our fantastic guests, Jim Tews, Boat, Cocoon
Central Dance Team, Seaton Smith, and Kenny Pickett.

Thank you to all the members of the Moon Logistics Squad, including Paul at the
door, Brandi at the merch table, Christine on tech, Dan on video, and Alex

Thank you to the good people at Union Pool, specifically Ed behind the bar,
Taylor on the sound board, and Harry and Bravo on security.

Thank you to our sponsors, Forbidden Planet NYC, Prestone Printing, and
Herradura Tequila. 

Once again, thank you to everyone who took a chance on a weird show and ended up
liking it. We’re honored that you’ve chosen to spend your time with us.

We’ll see you on December 15 for the last show of the year!
