Spend your Tuesday evening at this variety show featuring comedians sharing their joy in standing out. Comedian Lauren LoGiudice knows that being different isn't just uncomfortable— in today's world, it can feel downright dangerous. That's why she's bringing her Misfit Variety Show: A Joyful Comedy Nite to Brooklyn Art Haus on Tuesday, September 16.
"Every city has its misfits, but not every city has a place where misfits can truly belong," says LoGiudice. "We're not just putting on a show—we're building temporary autonomous zones of weirdness where people can shed the boxes society puts them in."
What sets the Misfit Variety Show apart is its ability to transform personal discomfort into collective celebration. When audience members share their anonymous stories of awkwardness and alienation, the resulting laughter becomes a form of group therapy. "It's a space where everyone from the GenZ barista to the Boomer accountant are welcome to be appreciated for their uniqueness," as event organizers say.
The show features standup comedy, storytelling, and some character. In addition to LoGiudice, the lineup includes Kari Burt, Will Purpura, Brooke Ferris, Catherine Waller, and Lexi Lewis.
