Fox Foundation as actor Nick Koesters, The SoHo Playhouse and Shaking With Laughter present the New York premiere of SIDE EFFECTS MAY INCLUDE a one-man show written by former SEINFELD writer, Marc Jaffe and Broadway playwright (The Velocity of Autumn) Eric Coble.

The Momedians of Momedy is a stand-up comedy show featuring Chicago's best comedians - who just happen to be moms! Host Colleen Brennan will deliver the laughs along with fellow Momedians Kat Herskovic, Denise Medina, Jan Slavin, Eunji Kim and Kellye Howard. Come join the fun as The M.O.M. joke about the perils of life, pregnancy, relationships, parenthood and more…Why? Because we said so.

Side Effects May Include is a daringly funny and provocative one-man show about early onset Parkinson's disease. Phil is a stand-up comedian, living a reasonably happy married life. His only complaint? Wife Maggie's waning sex drive. It provides ample fodder for his stand-up act -- until she is diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and their life takes an unexpected turn -- some of it for the better. Based on a funny, touching, true story, which made a splash when it was told in a condensed form in a Modern Love column in the New York Times, former Seinfeld writer, Marc Jaffe shares his own experience and finds that sometimes it's not the disease that changes us,so much as the side effects.
