Mayor Bloomberg was upstaged by a stagehand at the annual Inner Circle comedy show.
After making a staged aborted entrance as Spider-Man — he had technical problems like the ones that have plagued the Broadway musical — “Spider-Mike” asked how long he’d be stuck above the stage on a wire.
“Will I be up here long?” the costumed leader asked.
“No,” the stagehand replied. “We just have to issue an RFP, get three bona-fide bids, go before the community board, submit a ULURP application, and do an environmental-impact statement — and we’ll have you down and you can grab the train home.”
“That’s not too bad,” Bloomberg responded.
“From the completed Moynihan Station,” zinged the stagehand.
He then went on to riff about a host of other city subjects, including the Ed Koch-Queensboro Bridge and the backlash he endured after the city’s poor response to last year’s blizzard.
One skit even tackled the teacher-tenure debate. In the parody, a nightclub bouncer tossed a patron out of a club just moments after he arrived.
“Sorry,” the bouncer said. “We’re over the occupancy limit. You have to go.”
“What?! You just admitted me!” the patron protested.
“Last in, first out,” the bouncer replied.
