Queer Takeover of Texas (in Manhttan) * Lambda Benefit
As you know for the past six months I've been incubating shows at the event space at Lunella Restaurant down in Little Italy. The first show I did was Gay Takeover of Little Italy. It was fun and got a crowd. Bringing LGBTQ+ comedy to spaces not traditionally welcoming seemed to have struck a chord. After the show fellow comic/producer Dana Friedman told me: let's call it Queer Takeover and use it to raise funds for LGBTQ+ causes.
And just like that - and because if you've been on this list you know that I could never be accused of NOT taking action - we had a venue, a date, a cause, and a nonprofit on board.
Here’s to jumping on an idea when you feel like it’s catching!
Queer Takeover of Texas (in Manhattan) brings the best of NYC Queer comedy to raise awareness of and funds for Lambda Legal* in the Lone Star State.
