At the annual 'Schtick or Treat' comedy show, comedians get into the Halloween spirit by performing stand-up sets in disguise as other comedians. Check out this year's sets
Bernie Mac Sanders makes his stand-up debut. Photo: J.P. McDade/Twitter One of the best New York comedy traditions is ‘Schtick or Treat,’ the annual live show hosted by Mark Normand and Matt Ruby and produced by Luisa Díez.
J.P. McDade, who performed as Sebastian Maniscalco last year, returned this year with a truly inspired invention: “Bernie Mac Sanders.” It’s better seen than explained, but Ruby’s intro detailing the incident that created this bizarre mutant provides a nice setup: “After a long day on the campaign trail, Senator Bernie Sanders decided to relax with his favorite film: Def Comedy Jam All-Stars Volume 2 on VHS. When lightning struck the VCR, blah blah blah.
Jeremy Kaplowitz delivered yet another widely shared performance — this time, “1990s Jerry Seinfeld Doing Bits About His 17-Year-Old Girlfriend.
Another great performance is this two-part clip featuring Gianmarco Soresi and Chris Cafero, who did a set together as 2019’s most unlikely comedy duo, John Mulaney and Pete Davidson — and at a few points it’s pretty, to use the Bill Burr term, brutal. “One might say that Pete is the Chris Farley to my David Spade: I’m vanilla with just a dash of snark,” Soresi, as Mulaney, says. “Yeah,” Cafero as Davidson responds, “and I’m gonna die young.
Maybe you’re a Maria Bamford fan, but you’re probably not as big of a fan as Julia Clare is, judging by how perfectly her impersonation nails the stand-up’s nervous energy and ability to seamlessly flip from one character voice to another:And with this performance by Anya Volz, Bill Burr can now say he’s performed stand-up while pregnant. “You know what? It’s not that bad!” Volz’s Burr says. “I don’t know what these broads have been complaining about.
