Join comedian and host Chris Duffy for a night of NYC’s best performers sharing their work and the things they love. Three unique acts each take the stage and perform their favorite songs, stories, and jokes. Then they give a few lucky audience members a copy to take home for themselves, Oprah-style.
Guaranteed to be the most positive way to spend a Tuesday night in NYC.
This is a general admission event in The Gallery at LPR.
