FiPS Is Giving Away 2 Tickets to The Jukebox: Comedy & Karaoke At Union Hall 

Do you love comedy and karaoke as much as you love getting free shit? I thought so. That's why FiPS is giving away two FREE tickets to local popular hybrid show The Jukebox, which pairs -- you guessed it -- comedy and and karaoke ("Com-Karao-Dy?" Is that what you'd call it?). Anyway, here's how the evening works:

Everyone on the line-up performs something inspired by a song -- be it stand-up, a story, or a written piece -- then sings that song karaoke. Performers choose their own songs based on the theme for that month's show; each one is a type of playlist or mixtape. THE JUKEBOX is a comedy-karaoke hybrid, blending The Moth, Hot Tub, and Union Hall's own Karaoke Killed The Cat. It satiates the three founders' love of comedy, storytelling and life-changing karaoke.

This month's theme is "Mom and Dad Rock," and the line-up includes:

* Myq Kaplan (Last Comic Standing) Here's a video of Myq killing it on Letterman

* Samantha Martin (Story Pirate and Pop Dust writer of the stars)

* Griffin Newman (Sketch Comic and Character Comedian Extraordinaire)

* Stefanie Gunning (former MTV Networks exec) 

The show is hosted by comedic trio Steve Heisler, Steve Jacobs and Margaret Lyons (here they are performing a funny medley on a past show).

To win 2 free tickets to the next show, happening on Monday, May 14th @ 8PM (doors at 7:30PM), drop us a comment explaining what your favorite karaoke song is to perform, and why (My go-to is the German version of "99 Red Balloons" because it's the closest I've ever come to learning a second language). 

We here at FiPS headquarters will choose a winner Friday morning (hint: be funny), who will be emailed at the address connected to his or her Commenter ID. And if you entered and don't hear from us but still want to attend the show (which you totally should), you can buy tickets on Union Hall's website.

Best of luck!
