Pick of the Day: Normal Gossip LIVE (in NYC) 6/14 & 6/16

June 8, 2023

While Scandoval has the world of reality TV wrapped around its fingers, the gossip of normal folks as captured by Kelsey McKinney and Alex Sujong Laughlin on their hit podcast Normal Gossip is something, we think, much more enthralling, hilarious, and even more beautiful than whatever reality show TV producers concoct in an editing bay. It’s a great reminder that drama and intrigue are not exclusive to famous, rich, beautiful, and/or high powered people.

McKinney and Laughlin have got such a charming show on their hands dissecting the gossip of the sorts of the people that you might pass on the street (or scroll past if you still don’t leave the house that much these days) that they’re going on tour for live tapings of Normal Gossip!

This is an instance where you should definitely leave your house, especially if you’re in NYC, to attend one or both tapings of Normal Gossip @ Town Hall in NYC come Wed. Jun. 14th and Fri. Jun. 16th at 7:30PM with special guest, celebrated writers Sabrina Imbler & Tuck Woodstock. Tickets start at $52 and know that Wed. night is almost entirely sold out. SO GO GET TICKETS HERE NOW.

Since the brilliant Jacqueline Novak has been performing her lauded and acclaimed solo show, Get On Your Knees, directed by the also brilliant John Early, years before the pandemic, it seems as though she has been doing the hysterical poesy of her hour long show about the sexual politics of blowjobs for at least a decade. We’ve had the expressed privilege of seeing it several forms in different venues and enjoyed the exclusive privilege of seeing it become the juggernaut of a solo show that it has around the world.

So, it only stands to reason that it should be shot as a special to be shown to even more folks, right?

Thankfully, that’s happening this Summer after what must be hundreds of performances at this point. Novak will be taping Get On Your Knees to cap off one final run of the show at Town Hall in NYC on Jun. 9th. There will be an early show at 7PM, which is already sold out, but you can still snag tickets for a 10PM show at $42 a pop right now (and we highly suggest not waiting).

We all were spellbound by her performance that became an album in Live, so it shouldn’t come as a surprise that many that were in attendance are writing up her show this morning during the New York Comedy Festival that’s happening right now.

We don’t want to ruin the moment of reading exactly what happened as recounted by The New Yorker’s Andrew Marantz, but we’ll say that Tig took baring it all to a whole other transformative, level, per usual.
