Kate Berlant, often thought by many to be a crucial trailblazer in this era of comedy, has achieved such notions by her persistent experimentation in comedy with form, expectation, perspective, and subversion. For the last several months, she has treated LA to the delight of cultivating a solo show that NYC is now going to delight in the fruits of that labor.

Called Kate Berlant Is Kate, Kate will be running the show for an extensive run at the East Village’s Connelly Theater with Bo Burnham set as director (in case you needed some extra incentive for some reason, though you really shouldn’t). It’ll run from August 20th-October 8th, specifically going up at 7PM Mondays through Saturdays with a matinee performance at 3PM on Saturdays. There will be a single Sunday performance on Sept. 4th at 7PM and the show will go dark on Mon. Sept. 5th.

By the way, Kate herself says of this show: All my previous work has been a pale shadow, a humiliation, an impotent suggestion always gesturing toward, yet never quite arriving… now I’m here. And it feels really good.

Tickets starts at $31 for previews and $47 after opening night 9/7. Go get your tickets for this important milestone in comedy before they sell out at kateshow.net.
