"Giant Tuesday Night of Amazing Inventions And Also There Is A Game!!!" is a weekly extravaganza showcasing New York City's best stand-up, sketch, character and musical comedy. The show is the creation of internationalpseudostar Francisco Guglioni, who himself is a creation of NYC comedian Andrés du Bouchet. In his native country of Boliviguay, Francisco has received the Entertainer-of-the-Year award a record six times, no small feat considering that Boliviguay is an Extravaganzocracy, where virtually every citizen is the host of their own show.

In a bid to separate "Giant Tuesday Night..." from the herd, and to attract an American following, Francisco has relocated the show and its entire menagerie of hilarious characters to Manhattan's East Village.
According to Francisco, "After researching the city carefully, I decided that the East Village would be the neighborhood most receptive to a hilarious variety show combining cutting-edge stand-up, sketch, character-based and musical comedy with the extremely loosely and inconsistently attended-to premise that it all has something to do with amazing inventions. And of course, also there is a game."
Guglioni then added, "For example, this one time we did a bit about pants that can tell the future. We called them 'Antici-pants'. True story."

In addition to its enthusiastically flabbergasted host and the stellar guest comics that perform every week, GTN boasts a talented core of regular actor/writers who portray a menagerie of entertaining characters that pop in and out of each show, presenting inventions or just giving Francisco a hard time.

GTN's cast of regular characters includes:

 



Andrés du Bouchet plays Francisco Guglioni who will, occasionally, hand over hosting duties to one of Andrés' other alter-egos, such as notorious "ex"-mobster Frankie No-Pants, or Lord of the Vampires (Central Minnesota Chapter) Murray Peterson.



Mike Birch as the guy you will all really enjoy loving. And, in turn, he will enjoy loving you right back. He's been here, he's been gone, but now he's back again. Whatta guy!


Ann Carr is a pip. She's the one playing the best damn Estelle Getty you've ever seen. Even better than Estelle Getty. She also likes to drool and exercise in a strange asexual way.


Mark Douglas of The Rob and Mark Show makes up one half of the House band and sometimes plays as Mr. Shakes, Laffy, or even half of Oasis.


Jonny Fido as The Human Soundtrack, pet psychic Ron Daniels, inventor and redneck Ernest Brussels, a guy called "Whoop-Ass," and Chunk Bates-Vampire Slayer.


Rob Gorden of The Rob and Mark Show makes up one half of the House band and sometimes play as Rappin' Stan, Yes Man, or even half of Oasis.


Kevin Maher as the tough-talking new guy who might be playing Mark Twain and stuff.


Michael Reisman as composer Randy Newman's cousin Andy Newman, clothing magnate and inventor Barry Schwartzfarb, Zagat Boy, or as Michael Reisman.
Every show will be different, and every show will be funny! Or at least funnier than whatever else you were going to do at 8pm on a Tuesday.
