Geegland were born a little more than a decade ago in the Strand Bookstore when Kroll and Mulaney observed two crabby geezers in blazers and turtlenecks purchasing separate copies of Alan Alda’s book, Never Have Your Dog Stuffed. Geegland are a pair of 70-something Upper West Siders-as well as the alta-kocher alter egos of Nick Kroll, 38, and John Mulaney, 34, respectively fugitive wits and writers from Comedy Central and Saturday Night Live.ĭespite their Social Security status, Faizon and St. 10 at the Lyceum Theatre, might rightly be called A Coupla Old Coots Standing Around Talking. This month, late-night host Chelsea Handler stopped by, admitted her childhood shoplifting habits, and proved herself to be one of the few brave guests to actually try a bite of tuna (a move she likely regrets more than the shoplifting).Ĭheck out Esquire's exclusive clip of Handler with Faizon and Geegland below.By any other name, Oh, Hello on Broadway, which opened Oct. Celebrities like Will Ferrell, Stephen Colbert, and their hero Alan Alda have graced the stage to sit in front of a giant plate of tuna. Yes, the pair is actually the alter egos of Nick Kroll and John Mulaney, who made the characters popular on the recurring Kroll Show sketch, "Too Much Tuna," but the comedians delve so far into their Upper West Side-dwelling characters that it's difficult to spot the two under the wigs and community theater-quality old-age makeup.Įach night, in the middle of recounting their dubious biographies for the audience at the Lyceum Theater, the pair invites a special guest on stage for the beloved "Too Much Tuna" prank.
But the other must-see show this season is the much-anticipated stage production of Gil Faizon and George St. Sure, Hamilton is still the hottest ticket on Broadway.
