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.

ABOUT THE SHOW - FROM THE PRODUCER
BackFat Variety is a monthly comedy show now in its 4th year. It's been recommended by The New York Times, The Skint, Time Out, Brokelyn, Brooklyn Magazine and others.
Each month, we bring some of the best comedic minds together for a show that includes standup, characters, sketches, readings, and is not too long. Doors open at 8 PM and we start promptly at 8:30. We recommend arriving closer to 8 to nab yourself a seat.
The show is zero dollars! We do it for the love! But also, we take donations to help us pay for costs associated with running the show. :)
