Chani Lisbon Jaye McBride Margaret Dodge Kate Sisk Jay Jurden Gara Lonning Eddie Sarfaty Dana Friedman Description
Queernucopia returns for its fifth successful show at The Duplex, with an outstanding evening of hilarity, diversity, and really good lighting. Our Pride 2018 show includes comics featured on Comedy Central, The Onion, NBC, The New Yorker, as well as major clubs and festivals all over the country. Queernucopia: Pride 2018 is also a benefit for Knock, Knock, Give A Sock. They are a non-for-profit organization dedicated to reducing the stigma of homelessness by bringing neighbors together, and the distribution of donated goods which allow communities to meet and share with one another. Kate Sisk is a standup, improviser, and writer originally from Massachusetts. Kate performsat colleges and festivals throughout the Northeast. You can see Kate at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater with the Lloyd Team Doing Hugs. Kate is also a contributing writer for The Onion and Funny or Die, and a cohost for the LGBT+ podcast Your Voice Is So Funny. Jay Jurden is an up and coming stand up comic in NYC. His unique brand of comedy is rooted in his southern upbringing. His writing has been featured by The New Yorker, Teen Vogue, and he’s the Winner of 2017's Smart Aleck Stand Up Comedy festival in NYC. Gara Lonning is a New York City-based comic born and raised in the middle-of-nowhere Iowa. Join her and her unpredictable comedy as she weaves you in and out of wacky stories ranging anywhere from her closeted, Iowa adolescence to the struggle of constantly butting heads with her painfully Midwestern mother who has asked to not be put in her comedy act multiple times. Not a chance, Kealy! Not a chance! Comedian and writer Eddie Sarfaty has appeared on The Today Show, Comedy Central's Premium Blend, Logo’s Wisecrack, The Joy Behar Show, and in the documentaries “Laughing Matters”, and Heartfelt. Chani Lisbon has performed at Westside Comedy Club, Gotham and The Stand. She was brought up in a sheltered, Orthodox Jewish home, and was in her twenties before she met someone who was queer. That person turned out to be her. Jaye McBride has performed stand-up all over the country, sharing the stage with stars like Aziz Ansari & Jim Norton. In addition to stand-up, Jaye has written, produced and acted in a variety of short films. When not performing on-stage or on-screen Jaye writes “The Comedy Blog” for the Albany’s Times Union and speaks at colleges all across the country with her lecture about being transgender called ‘Trans 102: the Chamber of Secrets” Having transitioned in 2007, Jaye is uniquely qualified to talk about awkward first dates, strained family relationships and self- acceptance. Make no mistake though, Jaye McBride is not a gimmick or one-trick pony. She is one genuinely funny lady! Margaret Dodge grew up in Maine, but has cancelled that out by living in New York City for the last 25 years. In addition to performing stand-up, she hosts the podcast/live radio show Dodge City, in which she talks one-on-one with other New Yorkers about what the hell we are still doing here, and how. Margaret has been featured in Time Out New York, has performed at Lincoln Center, and was a semi-finalist in the Laughing Devil Festival. She also does comedy characters, including post-Soviet cosmetologist Lubka Bubkova and Maine-based 12-stepper Mike. In 2016, she founded Dean Street Cats, a nonprofit that provides medical care and adoption for feral and abandoned cats in Brooklyn. Dana Friedman is, in all likelihood, New York's first Orthodox Jewish, transsexual comic. Her performances address a wide variety of topics, including many outside the very unusual norms of standup comedy. She has appeared with or opened for Janeane Garofalo, Lizz Winstead, Yanis Pappas, Christian Finnegan, Julia Scotti, and other major headliners at clubs and theaters all over the New York tri-state area and occasionally beyond, when her parole officer is on vacation. $15 Ticket in Advance & a 2 Drink Minimum in the Cabaret Theatre* $20 Ticket at the Door (plus service fee) & a 2 Drink Minimum in the Cabaret Theatre* *Drinks Must be purchased In the Cabaret Theatre to count towards the Minimum.
