Spooky stuff tends to hog the culture calendar in October, but I’m not mad. As a horror fan I live for scary season, which is why I put together a guide to celebrating Halloween in and around New York. But what else is there to do this month besides dress up like the “Weapons” witch and stuff your face with Snickers minis? Here are my picks.
Comedy
The amount of top-tier comedy in New York this month is so good, it’s not even funny. Jon Stewart, John Mulaney and Pete Davidson share the bill at UBS Arena in Elmont, N.Y., on Oct. 15. With 10 new shows starting on Oct. 24, Jerry Seinfeld continues his residency at the Beacon Theater, which is home to other marquee names in October, including Bridget Everett (Oct. 16-17), Atsuko Okatsuka (Oct. 18-19), Larry David (Oct. 21) and John Oliver and Seth Myers (Oct. 26). Also, Druski is at Barclays Center in Brooklyn (Oct. 11), while John Cleese is at Town Hall in Midtown (Oct. 15).
