Gail Tierney// Animorphs: The Rogue Smurf

We all know and loved the hit book series Animorphs. Gus, a 90s kid, reminisced a little too hard one day and morphed into a smurf—the rogue smurf to be exact. Trapped between two worlds, and seemingly pursued by smurfs villain Gargamel as well as the Animorphs alien invaders, Yeerks (who might actually just be climate change), the rogue smurf pleads with the audience for a way to return to human form so they can just have a filthy chai in Brooklyn.

Audrey Shapiro// Good, and you?

What would happen if we answered “how are you” honestly?

Emily Goldstein// #MOOISH

J’ver wonder what happens when a Muslim & a Jew walk into bar? In my standup special – not only will you get to know that answer, but also all the weirdness known as my life as a convert to Islam! Trojan horse baaaabbbyyyyy.

Darla Roholla// Welcome

Do you feel powerless? Stuck in a rut? Do you believe in science? Come with me as we stretch the limits of physics and bring power back into your life. All you have to do is trust me.

Lina Alvarez// Live, Laugh, Love…Where’s my phone?

At 29 years old, Sabrina moved to NYC with a suitcase, her life savings, and a dream. Coming out of burnout, a four-year relationship, and a job she didn’t love, she sets out to experience all New York offers. While fun-employed, she lives, laughs and loves her way through the city, indulging in a few martinis too many and navigating a few twists and turns along the way. Usually a Type-A put-together person, she enters her messy modern-day Cinderella era by drunkenly losing and finding her phone three times, leading to three incredible stories of love and friendship.
