WHISKEY FLICKS LIVE
Whiskey Flicks Live! is an unscripted, booze-infused, deep dive into film with Michael Niederman and Daniel McCoy.
Whiskey Flicks Live! is an unscripted, booze-infused, deep dive into film. Every performance, Daniel shows Michael a unique series of themed movie clips, and Michael responds with improvised comedy and critique. Michael doesn't know what Daniel's gonna play; Daniel doesn't know what Michael's gonna say, and the audience is along for the ride!
Each performance of Whiskey Flicks Live! is a unique experience for both audience and performers, as we draw on a century of cinema to delve into how we live now, to reflect on how art reflects life (and vice versa), and to remember why we fell in love with the movies in the first place.
Since its beginnings in 2019 at the so-fi Festival in New York, Michael and Daniel have taken their one-of-a-kind impromptu film nerd-out to venues all over NYC, including The Tank, The City Reliquary, Wonderville and the Vino Theatre, online throughout the pandemic and at the 2020 Rochester Virtual Fringe Festival, and on tour at the 2022 Cincinnati Fringe Festival, the 2022 and 2023 Edmonton Fringe Theatre Festival, the 2023 Island Fringe Festival, and the 2024 Orlando Fringe Festival.
“Irreverent, celebratory, and poignant…"
"Deceptively simple in concept, Whiskey Flicks demands in execution remarkable levels of truth and presence, and Niederman and McCoy rise to the task."
