SoHo Playhouse to Present New York Premiere of GOOD SHOWBIZ In August
Eli Leonard stars in experimental solo comedy, directed by Theodore Bressman.
SoHo Playhouse will present the New York premiere of Good Showbiz, a solo clown-comedy written by Eli Leonard (Curb Your Enthusiasm) and Theodore Bressman (Pam & Tommy, Miracle Workers), with direction by Bressman.
Good Showbiz stars Leonard as Sandy Synagoguenstein, a mythical and flamboyant host guiding audiences through a surreal journey of Jewish comedy and theater across time. Combining clown, satire, live music, and immersive experimentation, the piece is both a tribute and a takedown of Jewish stereotypes—and the commercialization of entertainment itself. Sarah Shtern co-stars, with live music performed by LA-based band GOOF.
The show originally premiered at The Elysian Theater in Los Angeles, and this New York run marks Off-Broadway debuts for both Shtern and GOOF. The performance is recommended for ages 16+ and runs approximately 75 minutes.
The limited Off-Broadway engagement will run August 12–20, 2025 at SoHo Playhouse (15 Vandam Street), with performances on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 9:00 p.m. Tickets are $41.50 and available at sohoplayhouse.com.
