AFRICAN IN NEW YORK – ALMOST FAMOUS
By Njambi McGrath
July 23, 7pm
An innocent thanksgiving invitation by a new college in rural America. What could go wrong for a black African.
Njambi is a comedian, writer and a blogger. One of the stars of the BBC International Comedy, she has been quoted by The Times as an “important voice’ and has been voted 1 of 5 TOP Female Comedians by Fabulous Magazine. African in New York, is like Eddy Murphy’s COMING TO AMERICA devoid of the whirlwind romance, but more GET OUT.”

Welcome to my Dungeon, I'm Mistress Venetia, in here we can provide you with all your fantasies... All your secret peccadillos. It should be exciting and fun, if it isn't you're doing it wrong.
The show is like a melange between PERSONAL SERVICES, VENUS IN FUR and PREACHING TO THE CONVERTED (with a sprinkle of Joe Orton).Broadway Baby says, “it’s informative…a little bit naughty, she’s a natural storyteller”.

FIGHTING TALK
by Sara Dawood & Sara Nickson
July 25, 9 pm
In the year of our good lord, 2018, women have won
Sara and Sara want to talk about the 'F' word. Feminism that is. But the conversation’s gotten messy. Everyone’s talking but no one’s listening. And frankly Sara and Sara are confused. Fighting Talk has all the comic wit of ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS and the renegade energy of THELMA AND LOUISE.
