Julie Klausner Shows Us How Her Jimmy Jazz Works: 'How Was Your Week' Live at the Bell House

by | June 29th, 2012

Let’s just say you haven’t lived until you’ve seen Julie Klausner and Ted Leo duet the incredibly creepy Bryan McKnight song “How Your Pussy Works” with a 6 foot cat dancing back up. If you were at The Bell House this past Wednesday for the third live installment of Klausner’s hilarious podcast “How Was Your Week,” then you know exactly what I mean. And yes, we will get back to the six-foot cat on stage.

Last Thursday, deep in the heart of Brooklyn, comedienne and writer Julie Klausner invited about 300 people to join her in the famous snack nest. Klausner brought her hilarious weekly podcast “How Was Your Week” to the Bell House stage for a second time and as the Gowanus Grounddog predicted — something magical happened.

Klausner, whose “HWYW” podcast was chosen as Splitsider’s best of 2011 for her strong guest choices, did not disappoint with Thursday’s lineup. She was joined by the fabulous Sandra Bernhard, writer, producer and WMFU’s hilarious Tom Scharpling, comedian Joe Mande, musician Ted Leo and the very special surprise guest and snack nest correspondent This American Life host Ira Glass.  READ MORE
