Comedians Lisa Davey (Huffington Post) and Leslie Kritzer (Broadway’s Something Rotten, Legally Blonde, viral video Taco Truck Invasion) host the first edition of their new series Comedy Soirée on Setember 8 at 7pm at The Duplex Cabaret Theatre.
Comedy Soirée is a bi-monthly standup show with all proceeds going to a different charity each show. All proceeds from the September show will be donated to Planned Parenthood.
The first edition of Comedy Soirée will feature Jocelyn Chia (2016 winner of Ladies of Laughter competition, Live at Gotham on AXS TV), Kendall Ketchum (featured opener for Saturday Night Live alum Darrell Hammond), and Sydnee Washington (MTV’s Vidiots, The Warm Up).
Davey and Kritzer created Comedy Soirée as a way to bring people together for a night of laughter and positivity in a world that really needs it. It is an opportunity to support other comedians while raising money and awareness for charities and organizations that do so much good in the community.
“With this show we want to create a feeling of connection and positivity and also enable people to donate to charity whilst doing that.” Davey and Kritzer said.
Comedy Soirée plays The Duplex Cabaret Theatre (61 Christopher Street) Friday, September 8. Tickets are $10 in advance or $15 at the door. A 2 drink minimum applies. Tickets can be purchased here.
