Description Scribes from some of your favorite TV shows break out of the writers' room and test out their newest stand-up material onstage. As you may have heard, TV writers are currently prevented from being paid for their work by the Writers Guild strike. But that doesn’t mean YOU can’t pay them for writing new stand-up jokes and then try them out in front of you! Unless, of course, you are a billion-dollar multimedia conglomerate with a vastly overpaid CEO. In this case, please do not attend. Get your tickets for Pencils Down! at Caveat, New York!
