Emily Bergl: Off Night at Joe’s Pub
July 20 @ 7 pm
"Off Night" is what happens when Emily Bergl clocks out of Broadway and clocks into something a little more dangerous. She's known for her work on Broadway (Goodnight Oscar, The Ferryman) and TV (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Shameless, Gilmore Girls) but as a solo act she's played the iconic Cafe Caryle, The Oak Room at the Algonquin, and others. Known for her sly, genre hopping cabaret work that collides eras and emotions, Bergl returns with a new set that gleefully refuses to behave. In "Off Night," she and Jonathan Mastro (Girl, Interrupted at The Public Theater) reinvents hits from Cy Coleman to SZA, from Rogers and Hammerstein to Sabrina Carpenter. You never know what's going to happen in this intimate, musically shape shifting act. Come see what The New York Times describes as a "gust of fresh air that could knock you off your feet."
Tickets: Tickets are $42. There is a 2 drink or 1 food item minimum per person.
