Zach Galifianakis at 92Y Tribeca

Here's something you learn as a true New Yorker: The ability to walk a mile in the dark rainy night, while simultaneously eating dinner and getting yourself ready to go out for the night!

Last night, after work, I walked from Wall Street to 92Y Tribeca to see comedian, Zach Galifianakis. I was craving falafel, so I stopped off for a pita sandwich on the way, and proceeded to scarf it down in motion, while dodging rain drops and traffic, so I would not be late to see my bearded pal.

After 2 funny opening acts (Lisa something and Kumal something) Zach swaggered out, scruffy and clad in various shades of corduroy, sat at the piano, and began to tell us a series of 1-liners, that even he had trouble delivering without involuntary giggles.

"So, I was walking my friend's dog, and it sucked because I was wearing my baloney shoes..."

He then, graced us with a display of some his infamous "characters" he has been working on such as

"The boy who is calling for his uncle upstairs, but is unaware that 2 minutes ago, his uncle has gone deaf".

"Uncle David?"
"Uncle David."
"Uncle David?"
"UNCLE DAVID!"
"Uncle David....."

After proclaiming about 15 minutes into his set, that he was bored with his material, he then climbed down into the cramped seating area and began nonchalantly interviewing random audience members, taking sips from their drinks, and handing out cash to those he thought needed it. Once he had had his way with the audience, he climbed back onto the stage with his button down shirt, almost completely opened and halfway untucked from his pants, revealing a swollen tummy, and at least half a glance of a nipple!

At one point a man called Bart came out onto the stage, and pulled down a projection screen, so that we could all watch one of Zach's webisodes of "Between Two Ferns" on YouTube. Later in the night, Zach invited Will Arnet out to ask him some questions, which delivered by the cocky actor, complimented ZG's self-depricating humor nicely!

"Besides your personality and your face, what else would you change about yourself?"

At no point in the evening was there any span of 60 consecutive seconds of silence, as audience members erupted in uproarious laughter every time the comedian raised an eyebrow or sighed clumsily into the microphone.

I don't know what it is about the man, but without doing much at all, he's painfully funny, and I love him!
