Carolines Announces Breakout Artist: Natasha Vaynblat June 12th

Natasha Vaynblat puts on a one-night only hybrid stand up/ character special. In this 90min show she'll jump from hard jokes to oddball characters and then back again. From delivering jokes about her Russian upbringing to giving advice as a French doula, this show is a wild ride spanning genres. And Natasha has invited some of her favorite NYC comics to share the stage. Hosted by Ashley Brooke Roberts (Night Train with Wyatt Cenac) and featuring CJ Hunt (The Rundown with Robin Thede), Mary Cella (Little Old Lady Comedy), and Eric Gersen (UCB), it's a stand up special for people craving something beyond the everyday stand up special.
