Kings County | Jun 13, 2012

The video-blogger and comedian Franchesca Ramsey joins Kurt Andersen to host the first installment of Kings County. Comedian Kurt Braunohler of the IFC show Bunk performs stand-up and faces off against an audience member in a language quiz called “Tongue Skills.” Musicians Sean Lennon and Charlotte Kemp Muhl play live as The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger (GOASTT). New Yorker writer Paul Rudnick debuts a segment called “Gay Stuff with Paul Rudnick.” And, the whole cast performs a story about modern day life in Brooklyn.
