Created, produced and hosted by writer and comedian, Jon Friedman, The Rejection Show is a live comedic event that embraces the rejected and “turned down” material of well-known and up and coming writers, comedians, cartoonists, artists, filmmakers, TV personalities and other artistic types who display their creative “failures” live on stage. It is a hilarious compilation of rejected material (personal and professional) and the stories that go with them. REJECTION SHOW PRESS QUOTES For most people, rejection means a bottle of Jack and a pint of Ben & Jerry’s. But for one comedic genius, rejection has meant a cult hit show, national recognition, and now --a book deal? Rejected: Tales of the Failed, Dumped & Cancelled author Jon Friedman first gave life to The Rejection Show after he found himself passed over for a job at Comedy Central and, worse, dumped. Since then the invariably hilarious lineup of rejected New Yorker comics, Late Show sketches, and dismissive childhood sweethearts has featured a variety of New York personalities. Check out the failures and the mayhem if you are sucker for bloopers and outtakes, or just revel in others’ disappointments. -NEW YORK MAGAZINE "On the surface, The Rejection Show is a mere demonstration of unsuccessful work by usually successful comedians, writers, filmmakers, and cartoonists. Deep down, though, it provides an interesting look into the thought processes of magazine editors, network executives, and others who wield power." –THE ONION "If The New Yorker has rejected your cartoon, if 'SNL' has fired you, if Conan doesn't think you're funny enough, host Jon Friedman just might. The Rejection Show is a pastiche of writers and actors who didn't make the cut, and its cult audience can't imagine why." –AMERICA ONLINE "Who knew being shown the door could be so much fun." –CHARLES GIBSON, ABC NEWS "The Rejection Show has gotten so much mainstream press that we suspect people are purposefully botching the pitches they care most about, and then "settling" for showing them off here." -THE L MAGAZINE "The highlight is watching the performers vibe off the audience's laughter, turning what could've been a negative into the ultimate live validation."–THE VILLAGE VOICE "Ever wonder what you're not seeing? Each month comedians perform pieces that have been rejected by anything from Conan O'Brien to The New Yorker..." –TIMEOUT NEW YORK “Novelists, TV writers, stand-up comics, cartoonists, filmmakers, recording artists, dramatists, and poets come together for a friendly but edgy celebration of failure.” –LA TIMES "Rejection hurts. Luckily, this hurt comes from laughing so hard you pull a muscle. -FLAVORPILL "In New York, audiences are finding that failure is fun!" –ABC NEWS "'The Rejection Show' is a refuge for the rebuffed, a haven for the heave-hoed, a destination for the deep-sixed." –NEWSDAY "Like a gang of Farmer Ted’s leading the geeks through the brutal, estranged halls of high school, the Rejection Show features some of NY’s finest rejected writers and performers, in this comedy-centric event. -THE L MAGAZINE "Not just a brilliant idea, it’s a well executed one." –COMEDY CENTRAL "'What do you get when you display a whole bunch of stuff that didn’t make the cut at the New Yorker, Conan, and a bevy of other shows and publications? Evidently, some funny shit.” –GAWKER "True to it’s maxim, ‘Just because it’s been rejected doesn’t mean it’s not good.” –FLAVORPILL "Rejection can be hilarious -- especially when it's someone else's. But the Rejection Show is not just your chance to laugh at the misfortune of others. It's the best of the rest, so to speak; a showcase of comedians turned down by Conan O'Brien, rejected television writers, and cartoonists who find more SASEs in their mailboxes than checks." –AOL CITYGUIDE

The Brooklyn/NYC based sextet boasts two drummers, intensely powerful bass rhythm, soaring horns and a wild throated open-heart on vocals. Their live performances are bloodily moving: by turns Ellington, Post punk Led Zeppelin, and vaudeville orchestra. The band´s sound crashes from violent to fragile in staggered stride, rips the heart out of the room only to offer it to the wallflower. If Trenchtown lay on the Bay of Bengal, was frequented by shipmates of Rimbaud and Conrad trafficking in amplifiers and amphetamines, Nervous Cabaret would serve as the house band in the last bar in the weirdest most lawless gin alley.

The Rejection Show “On-Air Television Rejections” Volume One The Upright Citizens Brigade Theater Wednesday April 9th @ 8PM Hosted by Jon Friedman $5 Featuring some of NYC's finest comedians and writers sharing the footage and behind the scenes tales of their on-air rejections, humiliations, eliminations of failed footage and clips from Survivor, American Idol, VH1, A&E, The Tyra Banks Show and more! Featuring appearances by Sean Crespo, Lang Fisher, Carolyn Castiglia, Adam Newman, Sean Patton, Sean O'Conner, Brooke Van Poppelen, Jon Friedman and more... LIVE MUSIC FROM: THE DEFIBULATORS THE REJECTION SHOW is a live comedic event that embraces the rejected and “turned down” material of well-known and up and coming writers, comedians, cartoonists, artists, filmmakers, TV personalities and other artistic types who display their creative “failures” live on stage. It is a hilarious compilation of rejected material (personal and professional) and the stories that go with them. For most people, rejection means a bottle of Jack and a pint of Ben & Jerry’s. But for one comedic genius, rejection has meant a cult hit show, national recognition, and now --a book deal? Rejected: Tales of the Failed, Dumped & Cancelled author Jon Friedman first gave life to The Rejection Show after he found himself passed over for a job at Comedy Central and, worse, dumped. Since then the invariably hilarious lineup of rejected New Yorker comics, Late Show sketches, and dismissive childhood sweethearts has featured a variety of New York personalities. Check out the failures and the mayhem if you are sucker for bloopers and outtakes, or just revel in others’ disappointments. -NEW YORK MAGAZINE
