September 24 Stand-Up Comedy Lineup: Pins & Needles Comedy with Taylor Drew

The lineup is here. The decision-making credentials are questionable.

Billy Procida, Mark Vegas and Josh Blume join host Taylor Drew for Pins & Needles: Bad Decisions on Thursday, September 24. Four stand-up comedians. Your questionable choices. Plenty to discuss.

We’re kicking things off at 9 PM at Pixelated Records, 792 Onderdonk Ave, Ridgewood, NY 11385. Admission is free, and the premise is simple: live stand-up comedy meets comedians weighing in on the decisions you probably should have thought about a little longer. It’s the opening night of Pins & Needles: Bad Decisions, our new weekly comedy show in Ridgewood, Queens.

Brooklyn comedy fans, Ridgewood neighbors and anyone currently receiving terrible advice in a group chat: put September 24 on your calendar.

Meet the September 24 Pins & Needles Comedy Lineup

Billy Procida

Billy Procida is a New York City stand-up comedian and host of The Manwhore Podcast, where conversations about sex, dating and relationships get personal. His experience talking through complicated relationships makes him a fitting addition to a show about decisions that seemed like a good idea at the time. On September 24, Billy joins the Pins & Needles Comedy lineup at Pixelated Records.

Bring the friend who keeps getting back together with the same person. There may be something here for them.

Mark Vegas

Mark Vegas is a stand-up comedian, animator and Marine veteran from Chicago’s South Side. He’s also already part of the Pins & Needles Comedy story, having contributed his artwork as a featured artist at a previous show. For September 24, Mark joins the stand-up lineup for Bad Decisions, bringing another creative perspective to the conversation.

Making a questionable choice is one thing. Hearing several comedians arrive at completely different conclusions about it is where things get interesting.

Josh Blume

Josh Blume is a New York City–based comedian, writer and actor whose comedy draws on everyday life, his upbringing and relationships. His work connects personal observations with energetic storytelling—a fitting combination for an evening where ordinary situations can become very public conversations. Josh joins Billy Procida and Mark Vegas for the September 24 show, hosted by Taylor Drew.

Taylor Drew: Stand-Up Comedian, Host and Creator of Pins & Needles Comedy

Taylor Drew isn’t just the name under “hosted by” on the flyer. Taylor is the creator, host and producer of Pins & Needles Comedy, building live shows around stand-up, storytelling and audience participation. That connection is at the center of Bad Decisions: a comedy show where the audience brings more than applause.

On September 24, Taylor Drew hosts Billy Procida, Mark Vegas and Josh Blume for the opening lineup. Come see the comedians do their thing, then find out what happens when the conversation turns toward choices made by people sitting in the room.

You’ve already asked your friends. You’ve already ignored at least one of their answers. Let’s hear another perspective.

What Is Pins & Needles: Bad Decisions?

Pins & Needles: Bad Decisions is an interactive stand-up comedy show where comedians comment on your choices. You can submit a decision you’ve already made or something you’re still considering. The night combines stand-up sets with live responses to selected audience submissions.

Thinking about starting a business with the friend who still owes you $40? Moving in with someone whose only furniture is a gaming chair? Sending the message you’ve already written, deleted and rewritten?

That’s the territory.

But Bad Decisions is not a roast show, and submitting something is optional. You can bring a dilemma, bring a friend with a dilemma, or simply come for the stand-up comedy and listen to what everyone else has going on. The idea is to find the humor in being human—not make someone regret walking through the door.
