Enjoy an evening of comedy from some of New York’s funniest (and nerdiest) comedians.

Come see these recovering class clowns return to the scene of the crime. Hosted by Chandler Dean, a comedian and speechwriter whose work has been featured in The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Vulture, McSweeney's, Reductress, and Hard Drive.
