Spend an evening laughing at Stissing Center’s stand-up comedy night in The Grace Note, where the intimate setting makes every joke land a little closer. Headliner Carolyn Castiglia, seen on Comedy Central, MTV, and VH1, brings her sharp, high-energy style to the stage. She’s joined by MothSlam winner Bridget O’Neill and host Jenny Rubin for a hilarious, up-close night of comedy.
Bada Swing!
In Banning Hall
Bada Swing! is a lounge-jazz musical comedy that reunites two deeply questionable 1960s crooners, Bobby Bingus and Tommy Linguini, for one last comeback concert. A hit at Joe’s Pub and the New York Comedy Festival, the show mixes live music, oddball storytelling, and sharp humor into a strange, slightly unhinged celebration of ego, nostalgia, and showbiz past its prime.
