Audible Theater Announces Two Upcoming Comedy Shows This Summer
Audible Theater welcomes to the Minetta Lane Theatre this summer two uniquely hilarious shows over four nights in July:
What Else What Else, created and performed by Emmy- and Drama Desk-nominated comedian/writer Michael Cruz Kayne (The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Sorry for Your Loss) returns to the Minetta on Tuesday, July 21, and Wednesday, July 22, at 7PM, featuring special guests Rosebud Baker and Patti Harrison.
Soundly Unstable, created and performed by comedian and New York Times bestselling author Maria Bamford (Lady Dynamite, Arrested Development), on Thursday, July 23, and Friday, July 24, at 7PM.
Tickets are on sale now at AudibleTheater.com. Both shows will be recorded live at the Minetta Lane and released as Audible Originals at a later date, extending their reach to millions of Audible listeners around the world.
Kate Navin, Audible Head of Creative Development for North America, said, “Audible’s Minetta Lane Theatre has become a unique destination for some of the most innovative comedy in New York, and we're excited to offer this summer lineup to audiences in person, and later, to listeners worldwide. Michael Cruz Kayne is a sharp writer and performer whose show spotlights outstanding comics while exploring the craft behind the laughs. Maria Bamford's comedy takes on topics ranging from money to mental health, all with a fearless originality that's made her one of the most distinctive voices in stand-up. We're thrilled to welcome her to our stage for the first time. Both Maria and Michael have been wonderful Audible collaborators who continue to push comedy forward.”
Back by popular demand and fresh off his celebrated run as a writer on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Michael Cruz Kayne returns to Audible's Minetta Lane Theatre with his hilarious new stand-up show, What Else What Else. Enter a live comedy laboratory where Rosebud Baker (Inside Amy Schumer), Patti Harrison (I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson) and a third surprise guest test brand-new material in front of a live audience. With joke after joke at lightning speed from a variety of stand-up superstars, this outrageous night in the heart of the West Village — at a venue more intimate than most comedy clubs — is not to be missed.
America’s favorite comedian’s comedian is coming to New York City for two nights only. Maria Bamford — the comedian Stephen Colbert called his "favorite comedian on planet Earth" and star of an upcoming documentary from Judd Apatow about her comedy – is recording her brand-new show, Soundly Unstable, at Audible's Minetta Lane Theatre on July 23 and 24. Expect sharp observations on money, mental health, relationships, and the particular madness of being alive right now, with her unique, kaleidoscopic delivery.
The productions’ theatrical supervision is by Beacon Theatrical Services with general management by TT Partners.
