The Lieutenant of Inishmore


After seeing Three Days of Rain a few weeks ago, I've been hesitant to chance $80 to sit through another one of Broadway's sideshows of disappointment. But, I've heard too many good things about The Lieutenant of Inishmore to pass up a ticket to see it.

The show is billed as Broadway's bloodiest, and I confirm that if you like dismemberment, Inishmore is your thing. Here's what's great: If you also like jokes, like I do, you'll love Inishmore twice as much. It combines Tarantino's gore with Monty Python's absurdity to be some of the funniest entertainment since Bring out your dead!.

I recommend it. Tickets are available at Telecharge; I noticed student prices as low as 26 bucks.

Hi, I'm Zach. I grew up in Fort Wayne, Indiana and graduated from Wake Forest. After college, I moved to Manhattan to get serious about a company I ran with friends. We sold it to Barry Diller's InterActiveCorp in 2006. I just wrapped up with a project I co-founded called Vimeo and left CV to focus on being a twenty-five year old.

I have another blog called Copy and Taste, where I post about learning to cook.

I live in Brooklyn now.
