Rocky Sullivan's

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rocky Sullivan's is a New York City Irish style pub opened in 1996 by musician Chris Byrne (Seanchai, Black 47 and Paddy-A-Go-Go) and journalist Patrick Farrelly (HBO's Left of the Dial, Irish Voice, Michael Moore's TV Nation). Entertainment includes comedy on Tuesdays, authors' readings on Wednesdays, a pub quiz on Thursdays, live music on Fridays and Saturdays and the occasional traditional seisun.

Wednesday night readings have drawn enthusiastic crowds and top flight writers, including Roddy Doyle, Frank McCourt, Edna O'Brien, Pete Hamill, Rosemary Breslin, and Mike Lupica.

Tuesday's "Satire for Sanity" comedy shows have drawn performers like Barry Crimmins, A. Whitney Brown, Will Durst, Jimmy Tingle, Randy Credico, Jello Biafra, Reno and Warren Thomas.
