PUNDERDOME®

Littlefield has been one of NYC’s premier independent live venues since 2009. It has showcased some of the best comedy, live music, dance parties, podcasts, art, film and theater. Currently housed in a former 1920’s printing press warehouse, littlefield’s layout and sound system also makes it ideal for weddings, private parties, conventions and festivals.

NYC's hilarious cult-favorite pun compuntition created by father/daughter-duo Fred and Jo Firestone.

Doors open at 7:00PM.150 tickets will be released at the door.Seating is limited. First-come, first-serve.The PUNDERDOME® is New York City’s wild &amp; crazy monthly pun compuntition created by a “Rodney Dangerfield impersonator” and his alleged daughter (Fred and comedian Jo Firestone). The alleged dad will be hosting tonight! Part of NYC’S comedy landscape since 2011, Punderdome® has been a regular fixture at Littlefield since 2012. Twelve individuals/duos who sign-up at the door (opens at 7:00) will have a chance to participate in competitive spontaneous pun-making. (Six spots are reserved for 'Dome Champs!) Preference given to first-time compunitors who have previously attended a 'Dome and seasoned winners! Pun-masters will, of course, be determined by the “Human Clap-O-Meter” who “accurately and scientifically” assesses levels of audience applause. “Mystery Box” prizes will be awarded to the top two remaining punners. Warning for the faint of heart: the ’Dome is THE spectator sport, it gets loud – decide to attend at your own risk! <a href="http://bit.ly/1AOOsoF" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Action</a>!The New York Times referred to the Punderdome® as the “hilarious cult-favorite pun competition” and said it was “both an endearingly homemade and impressively high-caliber show during which astute wordsmiths (including a crew of beloved regular punsters) spin clever and very funny puns to a packed house.” GQ Magazine shouted the Punderdome® as one of the “<a href="http://bit.ly/1Ib9JHo" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">5 Funniest Nights in America</a>,” and quoted comedian Chris Gethard on why it’s great: “The crowd. You’d think you were at the Roman Colosseum. They’re passionate, to a level that feels dangerous. And to reiterate, this is a pun competition.”Reviews:“The lowly pun has long been considered the bottom-feeding bristle worm of the comedy world ….. That has changed with the arrival of Punderdome, a now monthly event that has turned punning into a high-functioning competition that is equal parts stand-up, beat poetry ….” - The New York Post“Can you imagine a more potent cure for the weekday blues? Here was concentrated, unabashed silliness that I longed to bottle and smuggle out in my purse.” - The New Yorker“The 5 Best Things To Do In NYC Tonight” - CBS New York
