    Doctors Without Boundaries (in NYC)

    May 6 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
    Caveat 21 A Clinton Street, New York, NY, United States

    Real-life ER doctor Aaron Bola welcomes chronically over-sharing comedians to tell stories of their weirdest diagnoses. They then do what they wish they had time to do with their patients: break down the insane history of how the medical community has treated that condition, why that condition has been stigmatized, and the real facts you should know when dealing with the condition yourself. This show is a healthy hypochondriac's dream complete with a "No Co-Pay" question box so that you […]

    Jamboree: Arounded (in NYC)

    May 12 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
    Brooklyn Art Haus 20-26 Marcy Avenue, Brooklyn, NY, United States

    Arounded is a 20 vs. 1 debate show where comedians argue their hottest takes. This format might seem similar to Jubilee's hit show Surrounded but this is most certainly not that because they seem litigious. The format is simple: one person gives their hot take and has to go up against 20 people tearing their take (and them) down for 8 minutes. The heart of Arounded is clip farming and ragebait, not changing minds. So, in that way, it's exactly […]

    Ten Bones Theatre Company is back at littlefield for their next installment of the Entirely From Memory series! Performers will attempt (and most likely fail) to recreate "10 Things I Hate About You", without the aid of scripts, rehearsals, or sobriety. All they will have will be their memory, a recent viewing of the film, and a lot of wigs. How certain are we that they'll succeed? So certain that we're making it harder for them. -Performers won't know what role they are […]
