Schecter replaces Peter Scolari, who struggled with allergies during rehearsals that resulted in extreme vocal stress and a severe sinus infection.

At the 32nd Bistro Awards on March 13, produced by Sherry Eaker, attendees hunkered down at Gotham Comedy Club in the hours before a blizzard hit Manhattan to honor the best in the year's cabaret, comedy and jazz performances. Of course, the prospect of a little snow wouldn't deter honorees from coming out, though it did slightly impact the order of the evening's events, shifting the 'grand finale' to the 'grand opening.'

An entire cabaret show made up on the spot. Who does that? Television and Broadway veteran Jason Kravits pulls off the improbable (or at the very least, unadvisable) in OFF the TOP!, one of the most hilariously spontaneous evenings of cabaret you're likely to see. After a wildly successful evening at Rockwell Table and Stage in October, 2016, Kravits is returning to Los Angeles for one show only on Sunday, February 12 at 8pm. 

Actor-writer-musical improviser Jason Kravits returns to his Village stomping grounds, The Duplex,on Oct. 27th at 7pm, with OFF The TOP. Jason is fresh from breaking in his act in Los Angeles this month at Rockwell, where he was joined by Gary Anthony Williams and Nicole Parker Redford in a 'reunion' of their 'long defunct folk/spoken word trio."  

Actor Jason Kravits, a familiar face from TV who has guest starred on Major Crimes, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Madam President and many more, will appear at Rockwell Table and Stage on October 11th at 8pm in his improvisational nightclub act: Off The Top. Rockwell Table and Stage is at 1714 N. Vermont Avenue, LA 90027.  TEL: (323) 669 1550. Purchase tickets online at: www.rockwell-la.com.

On Monday, September 26, 2016, The New York Innovative Theatre Foundation, the organization who for the past 12 years has been dedicated to celebrating Off-Off-Broadway, announced the 2016 recipients at its annual awards ceremony, The IT Awards. Hosted by a crowd favorite, Jason Kravits and directed by award winning director and sound designer, DeLisa White the ceremony took place from 7pm to 10pm at the Kaye Playhouse at Hunter College.

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.
