Apologies in advance... some upcoming shows...
There's no other way to put this: here are some shows I would appreciate if you considered coming.
I’m not going to do some little song and dance for you. You’re too smart for me to play games. I am baldly sending this email to ask you to come to a few upcoming shows that I am excited about.
22 TANGO: This Sunday 6/12 at 5:30PM, My duo show with subscriber Allie Viti returns to Union Hall. This show is officially a pregame to the Tony Awards, since it will be over before the Paramount+ festivities start. In fact, I turned down the chance to ATTEND the Tony Awards because of this show, so you have to understand how committed I am to it. We have an incredible lineup of duos that I am romantically invested in: Annabel and Sabina Meschke (listen to their Seek Treatment episode NOW), Ritam Mehta and Nabeel Chollampat (they have the absolute best Substack I subscribe to), Jamie Linn Watson and Chloe Troast (their MET Gala video will ruin your day in a good way), and Tim Kov and Andy Ward (hosts of the best mic in Brooklyn). Allie and I have been doing some iteration of this show since literally 2018, so it would mean the world if you came to support your 4-year-old that is going through an identity crisis.
Izzy Raye at Baby’s All Right: Next Wednesday June 15th at 7PM, I will be opening for my dear friend and
air to the thrownIzzy Raye. Like a week ago, Izzy told me she booked this truly epic (is that okay to say) venue and I was like “how can I help you sell tickets?” and now suddenly I am opening for her and am doing a long stand-up set for it. I think the set will be around 20ish minutes but I am waiting for FDA approval. Izzy’s music is epic (is that okay to say) and you can expect the show to be a whole epic (is that okay to say) production and Izzy will be in an epic (is that okay to say) outfit.Socialize: If you didn’t know, I’ve been hosting a monthly show at The Social in Prospect Heights with my multi-talented beautiful best friend/sister/mama Emma Jayne. EARNEST ALERT: This show means so much to me because it was born out of me crying at Brian & Jackie’s (owners of The Social) podcast As The Ice Cream Churns during the deep pandemic, and has grown into a wonderful community where I feel my absolute most comfortable performing. The show is produced by Lucy Wichmann (who I would give all my vital organs to without warning.) Emma’s music and (for lack of a better term) giggles are the antidote to everything bad in life and you’d be a loser to miss this monthly free show. Our June show (which will probably be June 30th… still figuring out the date… bear with us…) will be an all-Queer lineup for my least favorite holiday: Pride.
Sophie Sucks Face: On July 6th at 9:00PM, I will be producing another show at 54 Below that I am over-my-ass excited to be a part of. Sophie Sucks Face is an original solo musical by Sophie Zucker (who I’m sure I’m somehow biologically related to) and it’s the real deal. Witnessing Sophie craft this show is an honor and tickles every single part of my diseased-MT brain. Whether you saw the premiere at Life World in March or not, you definitely will want to see Sophie in a venue that Countess Luanne and Beth Leavel frequent.
Also if anyone knows how to get proof that I am turning 26 in 2 weeks to my employer so I can qualify for a major life event and get health insurance, let me know!
Ok I think that’s all I need from you. I want to say that another comedian sent out a newsletter as promo today and I was like “that’s a good idea” so thank you to him.
THANK YOU! PLEASE UNSUBSCRIBE IF YOU WANT SINCE THIS IS NOT WHAT YOU ORIGINALLY BARGAINED FOR LOL
