NYLaughs/Suzette Simon are thrilled to celebrate the power, punch, and poetry of women’s voices this summer — with a special nod to the 50th anniversary of Saturday Night Live and the incredible women who have shaped — and continue to shape — that iconic comedy institution. Headlining the night is SNL alum Molly Kearney, joined by a knockout lineup: SNL writer KC Shornima, Jackie Fabulous, Hoodo Hersi, Caitlin Peluffo, and our fabulous host, Marie Faustin. Lincoln’s about to get loud. Come laugh like you mean it.
Lineups subject to change, but the vibes are non-negotiable.
