Ben Wasserman: Live After Death
Description:
Part catharsis, part circus, total chaos: an hour of sometimes interactive comedy about grief and loss that’s actually funny.
A comedy show about death?? In a funeral home?!
Within the span of 3 years Ben Wasserman lost his dad, granddad, uncle, and four friends. In Live After Death, Ben shares his losses and grief with the audience through a chaotic blend of comedy, clowning, and crowd participation. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, there’s juggling, a seance, some karate — it’ll be a whole thing!
Featuring an opening set from Julia Shiplett (Comedy Central).
This month’s show is raising funds for The Dinner Party (thedinnerparty.org), a platform for young grievers to connect and build community.
TICKETS start at $15
DOORS 8PM // SHOW 8:30PM
** Show subject to cancellation if someone dies and the funeral home needs to be used as a funeral home.
**COVID-19 Vaccination Required
