Natalie Shure @nataliesurely:
Jokes about history and genocide are Natalie Shure’s favorite kind of jokes, the history buff/journalism grad student/standup comedian told Bedford & Bowery last month. This has translated into an useful how-to-seduce-British-gentlemen-and-other-literary-characters guide for The Frisky (“Your best bet is probably to contract tuberculosis, which is sure to coax him into your bed when he finds your rosy flush and hacking cough impossible to resist”) among other grad-school-witted writings throughout the years. Aside from hosting a monthly show at Greenpoint’s Palace Café, Shure makes the rounds at The Charleston, Alligator Lounge and other borough standbys.
