FROM New
York Post Friday, February 5, 1982

Speak Easy (107 MacDougal
St; 598-9670) is perhaps the most unique of the new clubs. For one,
it's situated behind a falafel stand. For two, it's run as a songwriters'
cooperative. For three, there are running fish tanks flanking the
stage. For four, the name doesn't really have anything to do with
prohibition (liquor is served)--and the music, rather than the jazz that
might be expected, is acoustic folk.
This weekend's bill is almost as unusual as the club itself. Musical
humorists Christine Lavin and Andy
Breckman will be competing for the biggest laughs --and, no doubt, leaving
people rolling on their banquettes--with Joey George adding a touch of
blues. Sets begin around 9:30 and admission runs around $2.
