Generation Women: Reckoning
Tuesday, November 10 @ 7PM
Generation Women is a multigenerational storytelling night that invites a woman or non-binary performer in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s+ to share an original true story on a theme. Our diverse line-ups will make you laugh, cry, and reflect on the cycle of life. The mission of Generation Women is to amplify underheard voices, and create space for intergenerational connection and community. Hosted by Georgia Clark. All are welcome to join us.
Join us this November as we celebrate Reckoning: stories of endings, hard truths, and the moment the bill finally comes due. Six women and non-binary storytellers—one from each decade, 20s through 70s—share dramatic and hilarious true stories about the moment everything had to change, and the grit it took to change it. Some reckonings arrive with a bang; some get settled quietly across a kitchen table. All of them are proof that it's never too late to speak your truth and that you're more capable than you know.
Don't miss New York's best storytelling night — an uplifting evening of heart, humor, and hard-won clarity that will leave you ready to face the thing you've been avoiding!

Bridget Everett & The Tender Moments
Tuesday-Friday, November 17-20 @ 9:30PM
Tickets go on sale October 15 at 12PM ET
Bridget Everett and The Tender Moments barrel back into Joe's Pub! Bridget's legendary and take-no-prisoners live act is a perennial sold-out hit and has garnered a faithful cult following. She has been seen in a string of recent television shows and movies, but to experience Bridget is to experience her live. Her in-your-face comedy is mixed with one outrageous rocking and original song after another. Dripping with hard-earned sweat in her sparkling and revealing House of Larréon dresses, she swigs from a bottle in a paper bag while telling stories about her dysfunctional family and her struggles with incontinence.
Grab a ticket and hold on tight. Prepare yourself for motor-boating, money notes and Chardonnay soaked memories. Shit is about to get ridiculous. This show is not for the faint of heart. Bring a chaperone. No two shows are the same, ever.
DREAM: A Freudian Musical in Concert
Sunday, November 22 @ 6PM
DREAM: A Freudian Musical is the brand-new show by Larson Award winner Daniel Emond (Kill The Whale), set inside the dreamspace. It tells the little-known story of Sabina Spielrein, a “hysteria” patient turned psychoanalyst; her physician-turned-lover Carl Jung; and their mutual mentor, Sigmund Freud. This show presents the original score, which behaves like a dream itself, colliding the likes of Joanna Newsom, Sam Smith, Wagner, Eminem, and everything in between. It's a musical about dreams, death, rebirth — and the dangers of telling your therapist, “I love you.”
Presented in partnership with YoungArts.
Richard Perez: I Have To Do This
Tuesday, November 24 @ 9:30PM
Richard Perez presents I Have To Do This: a full-hearted, sexually explicit exploration of partnership, vulnerability, and, yeah, love. Told in a series of pantomimed vignettes, I Have To Do This encourages us to lead with our hearts, and to jump — for the net will surely appear …

Bala Bila is an irresistible musical meeting of two African master musicians: Balla Kouyaté of Mali and Matchume Zango of Mozambique. Keepers of deep tradition with undeniable contemporary appeal, they bring West and East African musical worlds into kinetic conversation.
Mixing Mozambican timbila, mbira, vocals, and xitende (the mother of the berimbau) with West African balafon, calabash, vocals, and bass guitar, the duo creates an infectious groove. Drawing on sampling and live loops, their performance moves effortlessly between Matchume's spiritual, atmospheric soundscapes and Balla's flash and fireworks — transporting audiences while speaking directly to younger generations.

Starring Mike Kelton and Barrett Wilbert Weed, Kathy is a 'mostly true' cabaret about Mike's iconic mother, Kathy. This high-energy evening traces the life of a woman who is as much a force of nature as she is a suburban legend. Through a blend of sharp-witted storytelling and powerhouse vocals, the show navigates the hilarious and heartfelt highs and lows of her unique journey.
Kelton, an award-winning storyteller and comedian, brings his signature charm and deep personal insight to the stage. He is joined by Broadway powerhouse Barrett Wilbert Weed (Mean Girls, Heathers), who lends her electrifying voice to Kathy's.
