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. :)
