Welcome to the site of the Tuesday Night Music Club - a bunch of crazy people (mostly from the Long Island Theatre world) who get together Tuesday nights to sing karaoke, dance, drink, and just about anything else. Where and when, you might ask, can I see (and hang out with / worship / fondle) these crazy people? Well, I'm glad you asked. We get together Tuesday nights, usually starting about 9pm, at the Lizard Lounge (<-- click for more info) in Bohemia. Current humptiness level :
WARNING:
The Tuesday Night Music Club actually started as a weekly WEDNESDAY gathering of some theatre friends looking for a good mid-week activity, and found it with drinks and karaoke. Most of that original 2001 group are still regulars with the Club today. In those early days, the group gathered most regularly at Eleanor's, a bar in Oakdale, Long Island, where they generally found themselves to be the youngsters of the crowd. By 2002, the group found a home in the newly-opened Lizard Lounge in Bohemia. Over time the group transitioned into Tuesday night gatherings, but with the various members occasionally signing onto various theatre projects, the weekly assemblies became a little more intermittent, and regular attendees dwindled somewhat. Meanwhile, original member Michele began working for the Lounge, eventually becoming a bartender there. The smaller meetings continued, with Ed and George of the original group holding the core together. Near the end of 2006, the group began to reshape itself. Ed, with current members Jeannine, Michelle ("Not-the-Bartender Michele"), and Dee - known together as "The Whores" (for Karaoke-Whore, not what you're thinking) began making Tuesdays a regular tradition again. The foursome began touring to a variety of locations, but kept the Lounge as their true home base, and now rarely wander off the reservation. George fell right in with the revitalized group, Dee introduced the concept of "theme nights" and awards, and Ed began organizing the outings and, in doing so, brought many new members into the group. Today, members still come-and-go based on their outside theatre projects, drinks have been created and named after core members (ask for the "Sex With Ed" or the "NiNi NuNu"), and new Tuesday Nighters are coming all the time. If you've got a karaoke song in your heart... and an affinity for beer, gossip, and hardcore nudity, then groom those nether regions and come on down! Make sure to check out our "Theme Nights" itinerary so you're well-prepared for a night of fun among a nice group of crazies. Oh, sometimes there's some impromptu choreography, too, so best not to be thrown by that... The Tuesday Night Music Club gives back! In 2009, VP of Humptiness Steve W went on a special mission to Africa to bring the joy of karaoke to places all over the continent. Check out the slideshow here! Straight from the Humpty Awards, here's the list of the Top 100 TNMC Performances of All Time!
