Photo Coverage: Josh Grisetti Brings DON'T BOTHER, I'M HERE to Feinstein's/54 Below

54 BELOW presents Josh Grisetti in "Don't Bother, I'm Here", continuing tonight, September 24, at 7pm. Through laughter and song, Josh candidly tells one man's harrowing true story of Broadway dreaming and disaster, LIVE with a 7-piece band!
Inspired by an article published earlier this year by Michael Gioia, Josh narrates his own journey from a small-town kid to Broadway's newest star- exposing all of the victories and defeats in between. The story begins with Josh seeing his first musical, and ends in real-time with his first-ever solo performance at 54 Below, months after making a critically-acclaimed Broadway debut (the title role in this season's IT SHOULDA BEEN YOU).
The eclectic selection of songs will include standards, numbers pulled from musicals Josh is best known for (award-winning performances of ENTER LAUGHING and the Los Angeles production of HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS...), as well as a few quirky surprises. For whatever it's worth, Josh promises "almost no boring songs".
Josh made his Broadway debut this season in IT SHOULDA BEEN YOU, a performance that garnered the 2015 Clarence Derwent Award, as well Drama Desk and OCC nominations. Previously, Josh starred in the off-Broadway revival of ENTER LAUGHING: THE MUSICAL (for which he won the Theatre World Award), as well as RENT and PETER & THE STARCATCHER. Josh also starred in the short-lived ABC sitcom THE KNIGHTS OF PROSPERITY.www.joshgrisetti.com @joshgrisetti on Insta/Twitter.
