Comedy Night at Knitting Factory
2015-09-13 21:00, 2015-09-06 21:00, 2015-08-30 21:00 (America/New_York) | Knitting Factory Brooklyn, 361 Metropolitan Ave , Williamsburg, United States
Hannibal Buress used to host this weekly showcase of up-and-coming comics, but now the duties fall on Clark Jones (who has toured with Buress), Will Miles, and Kenny DeForest. Get there early (doors open at 8pm): the event is free and has seen big-name drop-ins like Louis CK and Chris Rock, so the Knit’s front bar tends to get packed.

Le Bingo! w/Linda Simpson
2015-09-12 18:45 - 21:30, 2015-09-05 18:45 - 21:30 | le poisson rouge, 158 Bleecker St., New York, NY, United States
Drag queen Linda Simpson, who got her start in the East Village’s Pyramid Club in the ’90s, has been hosting bingo for years. Each evening features multiple rounds of bingo with “goofball prizes” shown off by a drag version of Vanna White. The Wheel of Chance gets spinned for drink specials.

Smorgasburg Williamsburg
2015-09-12 11:00 - 18:00, 2015-09-05 11:00 - 18:00 | 90 Kent Ave, 90 Kent Ave, Brooklyn, United States
Smorgasburg is back with their new-for-spring fare. Comfort food reigns supreme amongst the newcomers, so be prepared for everything ranging from healthy, classic Israeli dishes to duck sandwiches, duck fat potatoes, and duck leg. Expect vendors like Cemitas, Lonestar Empire, Lumpia Shack, Milk Truck, Pizza Moto, Ramen Burger, Red Hook Lobster Pound, Schnitz, Brooklyn Oyster Party, The Good Batch, Kelvin Slush Co., and People’s Pops.

Arrested Development Bingo
2015-09-09 21:00 - 22:00, 2015-09-02 21:00 - 22:00 | Videology, 308 Bedford Ave, Brooklyn, NY, United States
Calling all never nudes! And just regular AD fans, too. Hang out with your friends (and make new ones–how can you not love a stranger in jorts?) while watching Arrested Development and playing bingo. How it works is you look for things like the stair car and the banana stand, and if that’s on your bingo card, you put down a chip. Win a game and you’ll get either a free drink or frozen banana. But come as a never nude and you’ll get both automatically.

Professor Thom's Trivia Night
2015-09-09 20:00, 2015-09-02 20:00 | Professor Thom’s, 219 2nd Avenue, East Village, NY, United States
Teams of 6 or less compete in this weekly trivia night at Professor Thom’s.

Drunken Smartass Olympics
2015-09-09 19:00, 2015-09-02 19:00 | Dempsey’s Pub, 61 East 2nd Ave., East Village, NY, United States
New York’s longest-running weekly quiz is held every Wednesday at Dempsey’s Pub. The quiz features 51 questions on topics ranging from ancient history to contemporary pop music, as well as “the best-curated audio round in the city.” Bar food and drink specials serve as mental fuel.

Live Rock and Roll Karaoke at Arlene's
2015-09-07 22:00, 2015-08-31 22:00 | Arlene’s Grocery, 95 Stanton Street, New York, NY, 10002, United States
When you get on stage with the Arlene’s World Famous Live Rock and Roll Karaoke Band, you know they’ve got your back — they’ve gotten drop-ins from Sebastian Bach, Adrian Grenier, Jim Carrey (who did Radiohead’s “Creep”), and they regularly perform at SNL after-parties. These guys might just know the solos to some GNR songs better than Slash.

Trans Pecos Experimental Music Series
2015-09-07 20:00 - 22:00, 2015-08-31 20:00 - 22:00 | Trans-Pecos, 915 Wyckoff Ave, NY, United States
Diamond Terrifier‘s experimental and outsider music series is one of those rare things: a free music event at a venue space (there is a one drink minimum but, whatever, you were totally gonna buy that beer anyway). This isn’t quite an open-mic night, but the kind of attentiveness and risk-taking and newness it inspires makes it similar. Swap out amateurs for seasoned musicians who are trying out their less seasoned material and you’ve got Practice.

WOO HOO! Classic "Simpsons" Trivia Night
2015-09-03 19:00 - 23:45 | Berry Park, 4 Berry Street, Brooklyn, NY, 11211, United States
The first eleven seasons – 248 episodes total – of the classic cartoon-sitcom are divided up into specific categories (e.g. “Edna Krabappel”) at this intensively competitive Simpsons trivia night. Organizer Andrew Ennals screens popular episodes between rounds, to jog competitor’s memories, or at least help laugh off the sting of defeat. Winners get prizes such as Peter Pan doughnuts and a bottle of champagne courtesy of the bar.
