The 12th Floor

For one night and one night only, 12 transformed W+K’s southwest elevator into an authentic early 90’s comedy club. Funny man Paul Wig, 12’s funny man-in-residence, acted as host and headliner. The elevator even had a bar, where Sara and Drew spent the night serving Mojitos and various alcohol and Cokes.

The Line-up:

4:30-4:50: Paul Wig

4:50-5:10: Jin Ryu

5:10-5:30: Jed Heuer

5:30-5:50: Shaine Edwards (Lounge Singer)

5:50-6:10: Yi-Fan Lu

6:10-6:30: Alexander Barrett’s crowd sourced Roast of Emilio Estevez

Somehow, someway, this was a complete success. Paul was totally classic Paul, Jin ejected himself after 3 minutes, Jed read other people’s tweets in an irish accent, Shaine impressed everyone with his Tom Jones skills, Yi-Fan was totally classic Yi-Fan, and Alex read jokes his weird friends wrote for him. We had crowds of people waiting for the elevator doors to open so they could snap a few pictures and hop on.

There were hecklers. Ademar from studio was one of the worst offenders. Especially when he would only let Alex tell two jokes over and over (honestly, he only had two good jokes).

A lot of people left the elevator asking when we would do it again. The answer is: whenever we get our shit together. Hopefully soon.
