Weekanerd NYC: Brian Cox, Comic Talk, and Late Night Gaming

Monday, February 25

• Brian Cox & Ian McShane: Dramatic License/Actors on Broadway
  
• $27, 6:30pm @ The Times Center, 41st St b/w 7th + 8th, Manhattan

Advanced tickets are sold out, but there's going to be some available at the door at 5:30pm. Now if you couldn't tell from the heading this talk is supposed to be about theater or somesuch nonsense, but don't let them get away with that. Rise up and demand Cox and McShane improvise a William Stryker / Al Swearengen showdown.

Comic talk and drunken video gaming after the jump...

• Comic Book Club: "Cable/Deadpool Special"
  
• $5, 8pm @ The People's Improv Theater, 154 W 29th St, Manhattan

Just about the only big weekly event in NYC that's unabashedly, unironically geekanerdy. Oh, and it's funny. This week's edition features Cable/Deadpool creators Fabian Nicieza, Reilly Brown, and Nicole Boose.
