It is not just a show — it is a movement. A monthly showcase in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, steps away from Times Square, designed for audiences who crave bold storytelling, sharp perspective, and the raw energy of international voices.The show reflects the momentum of global comedians who have changed the landscape of comedy — Hasan Minhaj, Andrew Schulz, Nimesh Patel, Ali Wong, Russell Peters, Vir Das, Hari Kondabolu, Zarna Garg, Jimmy O. Yang, Aparna Nancherla, Aakash Singh, and more.
