Adderall Shortage
"Adderall Shortage" is a dynamic comedy show created and hosted by comedians John Kennedy (New York Comedy Festival’s ‘Comedian to Watch’) and Ruby Setnik (Vice). The show blends traditional stand-up with improvisation, allowing the two comedians to freely interrupt, perform, and diverge, within a self-contained framework which thoughtfully combines well crafted jokes with intentional Mayhem. In short, this show embodies the chaos one with adhd feels whilst without Adderall.
Good Session

Caitlin Cook: The Writing On The Stall
Fresh from its sold-out Off-Broadway debut and selection as a New York Times’ critic’s pick, Caitlin Cook’s hit bathroom graffiti musical is a comedic, musical, and theatrical sensation. This is a show for comedy nerds, musical theater kids, art history buffs, and anyone who's ever seen something written in a bathroom and thought, "I wonder who wrote that?" Confessional, immersive, and uproariously funny, this one-of-a-kind show—literally set in a dive bar bathroom—transforms graffiti scrawled all over the stalls into the lyrics of her original songs and trail markers along the journey she takes us upon. Through these irreverent, poignant, and often obscene messages, Cook reckons with our shared humanity and what we owe each other. May include: slingshotted panties, milk pistols, and a cowboy dick (complete, with spurs!)
Fresh from its sold-out Off-Broadway debut, Caitlin Cook brings you her hit bathroom graffiti musical This is a show for comedy nerds, musical theater kids, art history buffs, and anyone who's ever seen something written in a bathroom and thought, "I wonder who wrote that?"
