Spend an evening at this variety show featuring comedians sharing their joy in standing out. Comedian Lauren LoGiudice knows that being different can be tough, and that's why she's hosting her acclaimed Misfit Variety Show on December 3 at Brooklyn Art Haus to kick off the holiday season with a night of irreverent comedy and heartfelt connection.
"The holidays amplify everything — the pressure to belong, the ache of difference, the yearning for connection," LoGiudice says. "We need spaces that honor the complex, messy reality of who we actually are."
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 work. In addition to LoGiudice, the lineup includes Carmen Lynch, Ethan & Gigi, Jackson Sturkey, Tom Achilles, Lexi Lewis, and DJ AIROS.
