Who: Louie Anderson and Martha Kelly
What: Viewing party for season finale of Baskets on FX
Where: Carolines on Broadway, 1626 Broadway between 49th & 50th Sts., 212-757-4100
When: Thursday, March 24, $35 (plus two-beverage minimum), 10:00
Why: If you’re like us, you keep watching Baskets on FX because you never know what Zach Galifianakis, who stars as wannabe clown Chip Baskets, is going to do next, and in addition, the show continues to get better every week, if not less bizarre. The first season comes to a close on Thursday, March 24, at 10:00, and you can watch it at Carolines on Broadway with costars comedian Louise Anderson, who plays Christine, Chip’s mother, and Martha Kelly, who is Chip’s insurance claims adjustor/assistant, Martha. Headliner Anderson and opener Kelly are performing at Carolines March 24-26. On Thursday night, Anderson and Kelly will host the viewing party immediately following their 7:30 show, and they will be live tweeting as well at #BasketsFXFinale. The show, which follows Chip’s destiny to become a world famous clown, was cocreated by Galifianakis with Louis C.K. and Jonathan Krisel and has been renewed for a second season.
