Jason Kravits Brings His Improvised Cabaret OFF THE TOP Back to the Duplex This Week

Who makes up an entire cabaret show on the spot? Actor-writer-musical improviser Jason Kravits does. Perhaps you've seen him die in a hail of bullets recently on Major Crimes, or play inept lawyer Gary Dubbin again this season on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, or on Curb Your Enthusiasm or Madam Secretary.

He will bring his critically lauded, totally improv cabaret, OFF the TOP, back to The Duplex in NYC on September 23rd at 7pm. In his musical high-wire act, Jason, assisted by a fearless and agile band, spontaneously creates a character, a life story and an entire evening of original songs, all based on audience suggestions. Showstoppers, character songs, trifles, segues, backstories - Jason Makes it all up in real time, off the top of his nimble and slightly demented brain, to the amazement of his audience. Jason's special guest in September is Broadway regular and filmmaker, Noah Weisberg.

The Duplex is at 61 Christopher Street at 7th Avenue. Showtime is 7:00pm, and the cost is $15 dollars in advance or $20 at the door plus service charge. A two-drink minimum applies, and The Duplex admits only those over 21 yrs. To purchase tickets in advance, visit:http://www.purplepass.com/off923 or http://www.offthetop.nyc/
