Improvisation from Tucker Iverson (Buzzfeed, Go Dummy) and Florence Friebe (ASIAN AF), Alex Cheng (UCB, ASIAN AF) SPECIAL GUEST TO BE ANNOUNCED!! Under St Marks Book Now Storytelling, Stand-Up, Comedy, Solo Performance - 25th Season CHEAT Chloe has cheated in almost every relationship she's ever had, and she's been in a lot of relationships, because she is a serial monogamist who is very bad at one of those words. Infidelity is more common than any of us admit; most people just keep it a guilty secret forever. Chloe is a comedian, writer, and actor in NYC, with a special on Comedy Central. This solo show arcs from standup comedy at the beginning to heartbreaking self-investigation at the end: think Nanette performed by Don Draper. Through autobiographical stories and observational humor, she walks through why someone cheats and how to face an addiction to intimacy. Because while progressive society engages with nuance in almost every other area of sexuality and gender, cheaters remain black-and-white villains. We take an abstinence-only approach to infidelity: just don't do it! And we all remember how well abstinence-only worked in sex ed. The show does not advocate cheating; but it does know everyone's little secret. All performances @ 7:30pm Under St Marks Book Now Stand-Up, Comedy, Educational - 25th Season WOMEN STAND UP Women Stand Up is a women-led organization that creates a space to empower people with lived experiences of misogyny through stand up comedy.

The Parentheses is a a window into the lives of two characters, Natasha and Talia, as they reconnect over the course of a single evening. It is a 60 minute piece that explores relationships, timing, and closure. Already wholly complete and complex on their own, they look to explain, to explore, and to experience one evening together in an attempt to understand what they really mean to themselves and to each other. All the things that could have been, and all the things that could maybe be, the timing that shapes our stories, all can be found in the parentheses.

Under St Marks Book Now Storytelling, Stand-Up, Comedy - 25th Season SALMA HINDY & DANIELLE DELUTY: PARALLEL Comedians and friends Salma Hindy & Danielle Deluty explore their parallel upbringings in their respective religious Muslim and Jewish households, and how outgrowing self-righteousness led them to each other today. Raised in financially secure but emotionally volatile environments, both Salma and Danielle clung to religion for stability. And while their versions of Islam and Judaism explicitly treated women as inferior, both doubled down on their loyalty to their religions out of a desperate desire to belong. Since childhood Salma and Danielle each found joy in the arts and performance, but they learned to shrink the theatrical, expressive parts of themselves to earn the approval of the religious authority figures in their lives. In Parallel Salma and Danielle reflect on their insufferable self-righteous attitudes as religious teenagers. Obedience and loud enthusiasm for dogma – be it anti-Semitism or anti-Arab Zionism — was how they sought to fit in with their environments. But as they progressed in their educational paths through university and graduate school, Salma studying biomedical engineering and Danielle in law school, it became too difficult to reconcile the clash between their religious practices and their senses of self worth as women. The pair both found stand-up comedy in their late twenties as they began disengaging from religious life. And in 2022 they met each other at a Brooklyn comedy show. After each performed their set, they gushed to each other “I LOVE your 9/11 joke!” This was the entry point to their first friend date: a two-hour conversation bonding with childlike glee over the shared experiences of growing up indoctrinated to hate each other. Salma and Danielle see themselves in each other’s journeys of self-discovery. Through finding each other, the two have made the bold choice to choose love over fear.

When Carole (a veteran of the stand up scene for over 40 years) started, you would never see two female comics on the same show. Fast forward to today’s comedy scene and nothing has changed, even though there are way more women in comedy. Carole decided to do something about it. Her first Showtime special made history as the only comedy special to feature 6 female comics over the age of 50. In fact it was the network's highest rated comedy special of 2019.

Hamlet couldn't possibly be funny...or could it? Are Shakespeare and Telenovelas a match made in heaven?

At the mere age of 26, it was the beginning of the end. In 1987, a medication called AZT came out and he had to take it every 4 hours around the clock. It was toxic! In 1994, within a 6-month period, Austin lost all of my closest friends. He thought, if he was going to die, then he was going party his way out! Drugs and alcohol became his best friend. Playing around in drag was part of his experience while getting high. Fast forward, he turned 40 years old and was still alive. What the hell! What was God up to? He was sad to have outlived all of his dearest friends, not being able to grow old with them. So he thought that there must be something else for him to do. Austin beat my demons and today, he has 19 years clean and sober. He was able to obtain a PhD from UCSF, one of the best universities in the country. After being on disability for 20 years, He started thinking I might be well enough to go back work. Today he’s an assistant professor at California State University, Fullerton in the School of Nursing and Nursing Supervisor at USC Keck Medical Center. Someone suggested the name A’Freeka Nature, sort of a play of Africa Nature as a drag name. Austin has auditioned for RuPaul’s Drag Race twice, entered a couple of drag search competitions – placing in the top 5, and won the title of Mx Caring Heart 2020 with Orange County Shanti.
