WHY IT'S A PICK
This show has been a pick since its debut - great venue, killer line ups, and somehow it's free?

WHY IT'S A PICK
Not only are these some of our absolute favorite voices in comedy, these are tired parents with a unique point of view.  So get a sitter and get to the Bell House already.

ABOUT THE SHOW - FROM THE PRODUCER
Standup comedians with kids. It’s laughable.

An evening of standup comedy from some of NYC's funniest comedians who happen to have kids and are likely very tired. Hosted by Ophira Eisenberg, featuring Eugene Mirman, Roy Wood Jr., Iris Bahr, and more; expect a night of hard hitting jokes about the magical and fucking maddening journey that is parenthood. Each one of them had to work hard to leave the house by 7, and regardless of what they are being paid, this show might be costing them money, so come join these standups as they mourn the loss of their old identity and celebrate the gain of new material, with bits about their chaotic life, crippling resentment, and of course joys of having dependents. They’ll also be drunk after half a beer. It’ll be fun!

WHY IT'S A PICK:
This line up features some of the smartest, funniest, hardest working comics in the biz - AND they all happen to be women.

ABOUT THE SHOW - FROM THE PRODUCER

BackFat Variety returns Thursday, September 28 with a lineup that's ~GASP~ all women.
Can women be funny? Of course not. This show is meant to TORTURE YOU with comedians from Conan, NPR, Two Dope Queens, The New Yorker, and more.  

BackFat is an actually-good, not-too-long comedic variety show, meaning it's a mix of standup, music, characters, readings, and other weird shit. What its acts have in common, though, is their high quality. There are only 3 shows left in 2017. RSVP on Eventbrite and enjoy the magic of BackFat Variety on Thursday, September 28 in the mezzanine of 61 Local in Brooklyn's Cobble Hill.

Thanks for supporting good comedy, weird comedy, live comedy, and women.
