7:30 PM: Love, Sex, & Magic: Comedy Variety Show
"Made me believe in magic" - Jezebel
"Gorelick was an incredible host, and her lineup was exceptional" - Jezebel
Make your worries disappear at New York's sexiest comedy variety show. ArLOL presents... Love, Sex, & Magic: Comedy Variety Show.
Join your host "Crushworthy Comedian" (Time Out New York) Jenny Gorelick for an evening of delights.
Unfortunately, Jenny's ex is a magician. She was seeing him, now she doesn't. And though she does not identify as a magician, she does identify as petty, and she has a few tricks up her sleeve.
Prepare to be amazed by the best and ******** late night acts across the 5 boroughs, including stand up, burlesque, circus, musical comedy, drag, and of course, magic.
Magic is hot. You'll see.

8:30 PM: Ladies Who Ranch
We heard your pleas. We read your fan mail. Brooklyn's finest improv supergroup Ladies Who Ranch are bringing their sold out Edinburgh Fringe show back to Knockouts! This will be an hour of comedy that will blow your mind and open your heart. This is not your mother's improvisational comedy – it is character-forward, raunchy and structurally exciting, but mostly it's about uplifting women's voices, in particular their own.
Deemed 'local faves' by the New York Times and 'very funny lunatics' by TimeOutNY. As seen on The Daily Show, Adult Swim, Apple TV+, Comedy Central and The Tonight Show.

9:30 PM: Alexis Gay: Unprofessional
"Hey… do you have a minute?” Bad from your boyfriend but worse from your boss. From New York-based standup and viral video comedian—and former tech employee—Alexis Gay, "Unprofessional" is a comedy debut about working (or, uh, not working) in tech, and one very specific 4pm meeting on the second floor of a company we'll call… Redacted.
Fresh off a critically acclaimed run at Edinburgh Fringe and directed by NYC comedy-scene veteran Matt Gehring, this show explores making work your entire personality, going nowhere on the hedonic treadmill, and worrying so much about your LinkedIn profile that it lands you at the hair doctor.
"it's a must-see for anyone working in tech" – Rashad Assir (@corporayshid)
