Time Out says

This variety show on Saturday, September 23 is "for anyone who's ever looked at their family and thought: How did I get here?" Hosted by Moth StorySLAM champ Lauren LoGiudice, Ancestry Dot Comedy explores a big question: "Thanks to commercial DNA tests, family secrets are flying out of closets all of the U.S.A.: hidden identities, illicit affairs, secret sperm and egg donations, unrevealed adoptions ... What does access to this wellspring of information mean for who we are?" The show breaks the stigma around family trauma, offering a space to share the tough stuff. 

The September show at Manhattan's Parkside Lounge features Shea Vassar, Lauren Davis, Amando Houser, and Dena Davis along with. The pre-show gathering features Spencer Brisson of Baby Cobra Yoga and mental health expert Dr. Marcie Beigel. Come by early to mingle.
