NYC Solocom 2021: Hawkins | Wayburn | Blankenship

NYC Solocom 2021: Hawkins | Wayburn | Blankenship | Bridges-Matthews 

The Peoples Improv Theater proudly announces the return of NYC Solocom, livestreaming Thursday, June 3rd – Sunday, June 6th. NYC Solocom has launched over 400 new solo comedies that have gone on to longer runs, tours and festivals around the world (including the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.) 

NYC Solocom is a festival of new solo work. All shows presented are 75% – 100% new material, and are created specifically for the festival. NYC Solocom’s goal is to push artists to create a show that is meaningful, personal and to follow the fear. 

Enjoy these daring, original solo performances from the comfort of your own home, via the PIT livestreams on Youtube Live. 

8:30pm EST – Paul Hawkins: “Garbage Picker”
