THE POWER JOKER: A ROBERT MOSES COMEDY SHOW (in NYC w/Livestream)

What happens when the master builder of New York, Robert Moses, loses his power and attempts to host a late night talk show? The Power Joker is one hour of driving comedy inspired by that horrible “genius” Robert Moses and his 1974 biography, The Power Broker by Robert Caro. Come see RM himself joined by a host of comedians and special guests for a variety show unlike any other. For anyone who loves The Power Broker, or hates New York’s car-centered infrastructure.

Our December show features Ben Furnas, Executive Director of Transportation Alternatives, and Glo Tavarez, an actor and comedian currently appearing on HBO’s The Chair Company. Plus, music from Boy Brooks aka Brooks Allison, writer for The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. And as always, lots of shenanigans (which Moses hates) from The Triborough Authority Players: Adrienne Ianniciello (Characters Welcome), Fallon Boles (UCB), Will Jacobs (The Other Two, UCB), and Elena Skopetos (Characters Welcome).

Hosted and produced by Sam Rogal (Magnet Theater, Story Pirates) and Evan Forde Barden (UCB, Magnet Theater).

Starts/streams 5PM ET/2PM PT
