Today, Marie decides to leave her husband: 'Let me tell you something. I find my husband so God damned irritating that I'm planning to leave him. And that's a fact.' But in Wallace Shawn's 1978 American masterpiece, facts are slippery things. In this radical re-imagining at JACK, two multi-disciplinary artists play the combative titular couple and head up the design team. Joined by an ensemble of some of Brooklyn's sharpest comedic voices, Gordon Landenberger (Bruce) and trans actress Theda Hammel (Marie) double as the set and sound designers, respectively, for this hilarious and timely new production.

OWN: OPRAH WINFREY NETWORK January 2018 Highlights

Art School Acid is a very famous art collective banned from PS1 for starting a small fire. So they moved their show to the local comedy club down the street. Free beer for the first fifteen audience members!

SEQUEL! continues with a screening of E.T. and more today, November 17th, at The 9 Studios, 317 Stagg Street, Brooklyn, NY.

Comedian, storyteller and hoop-dancer Mimi Fischer (The Chris Gethard Show, Broad City) is 64 years young and all about comedy, improv and hoop dance. She announces her first solo show, A Late Bloomer, with SoloCom, the Peoples Improv Theater's annual solo show festival. The show's title is a nod to her starting her career in comedy at an age that most think should relegate her to knitting but she doesn't do that.

Monotony! is the only show that dares let your favorite comedians and storytellers go deep on their weird obsessions with seemingly boring things. Their passion and (lets face it) disturbing breadth of knowledge on topics like The Science of Urinal Cakes and The History of the Rubber Duck will leave you laughing -- and possibly leaving with a brand new obsession of your own.
