Please Clap
A Comedy/Theatre Festival
Welcome to Please Clap, where the boundaries between theatre and live comedy blur. Prepare for a boundary-defying extravaganza that challenges preconceptions and leaves you asking: “Is this a groundbreaking comedy experiment or just a couple of people winging it?” We don't know, and honestly, we're not even trying to figure it out.
Schedule:
2/16
Late Night With Odd Girl @ 7:00 PM
Your Best Odd Girl Out returns with a one night only late night special! Hosted by the incredibly charismatic lesbian enthusiast and Sapphic performance artist, Adrian Collins, LATE NIGHT WITH ODD GIRL is the hottest show in town. Yep, our beloved Odd Girl is back, and boy does she have News! Gossip! Current events! Heartwarming segments! and Special Guests galore!
Oops! All Oscar Monologues @ 9:30PM
Over a dozen comedians do the 5-minute monologue they would do if they hosted the Oscars. And somehow this will still be less than half the length of the actual Oscars.
2/17
One in Four by Elle Meerovich @ 3:00 PM
A 2017 Capital Fringe "Best of the Fringe" pick, One in Four is a play about four roommates: each one is an alien, and each one believes the other three to be regular degular humans. As the play unfolds, the four contort themselves into increasingly fraught emotional and physical positions to prevent being unmasked as extraterrestrial -- and they learn very little about themselves in the process.
Please by Gabi Shiner @ 7:00 PM
Fresh off a sold out debut, PLEASE is a half hour of genre-spanning musical comedy from comedian/musician Gabi Shiner (Reductress, Brooklyn Comedy Collective). These songs about family and related atrocities cover all the greatest hits of your young life. Perfect for fans of 70s piano pop, tight choreo, and spilling secrets at family reunions.
The Spaghetti Variable by Mitchell Ashe @ 9:30 PM
Eating your favorite food as hot and as fast as possible increases its savoriness, and thus increases its potential for an emotional energy release. A scientist attempts to prove this theory.
