We’ve been renewed for a second season (or, more specifically, no one has forced us to stop yet)! We’re starting with a bang: Miss New Jersey, a world-renowned bioethicist who says we should eat babies or something, and friends of the show Caroline Reese and Mark Watter. Tickets are free, but if they sell out at Frist, still come to the door!
ATTENTION FUNNY PEOPLE:
We’re looking for a new crop of All-Nighter writers to take this beautiful beast into the next generation. Writers get to be part of the All-Nighter creative process from beginning to end, from brainstorming sketch ideas and guests all the way to final monologue tweaks on the night of the show. Every episode is a wild ride with a whole slew of funny people, and there’s no place else on campus where you can see an idea go from a spark in your brain to a hilarious bit in front of a real, packed audience––all in two weeks. Applications are due August 16, so get your All-Nighter Writer App while it’s hot.
All-Nighter was named this year’s recipient of the Alberto Santos-Dumont Prize for Innovation! The prize, given by the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students, recognizes the best original student project of the year. We’re so happy someone has realized how much we’re pushing forward the envelope of comedy with sketches like “The Princeton University Fart Museum”, “Big Ditties”, and “Ca-Queer Services”.
In all seriousness, this funny little award marks the end of an incredible inaugural year for All-Nighter. Almost one year ago, an email exchange between Amy, David, and Adam started the first-ever late night talk show at Princeton, which has gone on to be a campus institution. We’ve challenged professors to pun-offs and push-up contests, played water pong with a Public Safety officer, lost to two Princeton Olympian sisters at The Newlywed Game, sang a Pulitzer Prize-winning vocal arrangement, and much more, all with full houses and lots of laughs. We can’t wait for what the next year holds, and we hope you’ll be there with us.
Check back soon for information on joining the All-Nighter team!
Hear Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jeffrey Eugenides speak off the record, a Pulitzer Prize-winning composition from music department graduate student Caroline Shaw, and a performance from singer/songwriter alumna Phyllis Heitjan as well as graduating senior Anna Powell. We’re in McCosh 10 this time to accommodate all the drunk alums!
Hear from one of Princeton’s most famous professors before she leaves, as well as some inspiring goofballs from the varsity soccer team. Plus see the debut performance of Princeton’s next big student band, Gorilla Gorilla!
We’ve got Pulizter Prize-winning poet Paul Muldoon, the heads of the three largest religious organizations, and a fresh face on the standup scene for our March episode. Get your tickets early, folks, ’cause last time we ran out and people were offering real money to see this show. Real money!
All-Nighter is back with a vengeance! We’ve got P. Adams Sitney, fiery theater critic and dynamic HUM sequence professor, on hand to rail about Oscar season. Luc Cohen, editor-in-chief of The Daily Princetonian, will discuss the death of print media, and Casey Kolb and Agisae Kim will thrill us with a guitar/cello duet.
Tickets, as always, are free, and they go fast. If Frist runs out, still come to the door! We keep some back for you procrastinators.
We’ve got the incredibly James Bond-esque Sgt. Sean Ryder from Public Safety, Interclub Council President Alec Egan, and noted Princeton funnyman Dan Abromowitz rounding out our final show of 2012––and if certain prophets are right, our final show ever. As a special bonus, we’re bringing on 9 of the 11 eating club presidents for what could be an incredibly insightful look into social life at Princeton, but will definitely just be silly.
