Tammy Faye Starlite in Nico Underground Wednesday, May 8 at 9:30pm Wednesday, May 15 at 9:30pm Nico: Underground finds Tammy Faye Starlite inhabiting the Warhol superstar and Velvet Underground centerpiece who was born Christa Päffgen in pre-war Cologne. Starlite spent the better part of five years developing the original script that draws from videos, interviews, biographies and rare recordings, as well as first person interviews with those who personally knew the Teutonic chanteuse. This seriocomic portrayal is a masterful characterization that includes performances of songs by Lou Reed, Jim Morrison, Jackson Browne, David Bowie, Rogers and Hart, Gordon Lightfoot and Bob Dylan, as well as Nico's own compositions. The Meeting: The Queertily Review Hosted by Justin Elizabeth Sayre Sunday, May 12 at 9pm Justin Elizabeth Sayre returns with The Meeting: The Queertily Review.

House of SpeakEasy: Seriously Entertaining Tuesday, May 14 at 7pm Seriously Entertaining is House of SpeakEasy's acclaimed series of literary cabarets where authors take the stage to riff and ruminate informally, dinner-theater-style, on the evening's theme. The Wall Street Journal calls it "Think-y entertainment for New York's book-loving crowd," The New York Times says it's "a literary mixtape [with] perfect flow and variety," and CBS Local News adds: "You have never seen a cabaret quite like this…. The lineup includes some of the most brilliant \minds in the literary and artistic worlds." Featuring: John Oakes, Zibby Owens, Greg Sarris, Graton Rancheria, and Nina Sharma. Betty Buckley Thursday, May 16 at 7 & 9:30pm Friday, May 17 at 7 & 9:30pm Saturday, May 18 at 7 & 9:30pm Betty Buckley returns to Joe's Pub this spring for six shows with her long-time collaborator, 8 time Grammy-nominated pianist/MD Christian Jacob, Tony Marino on bass, and Dan Rieser on drums. Buckley is a master storyteller that combines her consummate acting skills with extraordinary musicality to create a unique and mesmerizing evening of music Iceboy Sunday, May 19 at 6:30pm & 8:30pm From the co-creators of the Broadway hits "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" and "Urinetown: The Musical", "Iceboy!" tells the absolutely untrue story of a 10,000-year-old Neanderthal who's discovered frozen in the Arctic, brought to New York, and adopted by Vera Vimm (Megan Mullally), the biggest Broadway star of 1938. But once thawed, Iceboy becomes an acting sensation whose talents threaten to upstage the once mighty Vera. It's "All About Eve" if only Eve were a caveman. The cast also includes Nick Offerman, Alex Brightman, and Leslie Rodriguez Kritzer. Anna Roisman Thursday, May 9 at 9pm Anna Roisman is a comedian, host, actress, writer & content creator. Anna is known for her viral videos and celebrity impressions on Instagram and TikTok such as Hilaria Baldwin, Kris Jenner, Steve Brady, Joan Rivers, Julia Fox, Lea Michele, Sarah Silverman…and the list continues. And tonight, she's bringing all of her hits (and wigs) back to the Joe's Pub stage! Prepare yourself for a wild night of standup, songs, and a pitch meeting with Kris Jenner herself, if you're lucky. Grace McLean Album Release Monday, May 6 at 9:30pm Called "electrifying" by The Huffington Post and "phenomenal" by The New York Times, Grace McLean is a multi-hyphenate actor-singer-writer. Stephen Holden of The New York Times proclaims, "Ms. McLean's voice [is] a flexible instrument with unexpected reserves of power…behind her playful adventurousness lies a well of passion." An accomplished performer (and currently on Broadway as President Woodrow Wilson in Shaina Taub's Suffs), McLean's songwriting has been praised as, "Savvy" by Vulture, and "Musically complex, dramatically abstract and...intensely intimate in style" by Broadway World. Holly Near W/ Jan Martinelli, Tammy Hall, Sandy O & Pat Humphries Tuesday, May 7 at 7pm One of the most powerful, consistent, and outspoken singers of our time, Holly Near's concerts elevate spirits and inspire activism. A skilled performer, Holly is an outspoken ambassador for peace who brings to the stage a unique integration of world consciousness, spiritual discovery, and theatricality. Holly's joy and passion continue to inspire people to join in her celebration of the human spirit. Equally compelling at her shows and through recordings, Holly's music fully engages listeners in the world around them —speaking to anyone who believes in peace, justice, and feminism; a wonderful spectrum of humanity.? La Perla Tuesday, May 7 at 9:30pm Often referred to as the 3 Colombian drum witches, La Perla is a one-of-a-kind percussion and vocal trio consisting of three of Bogota's best young musicians, whose powerful lyrics combined with intoxicating rhythms make for an unstoppable dance party. They represent and pay tribute to the Colombian Caribbean culture and tradition, while at the same time modernizing the genres with original music filled with politically charged lyrics based around feminism, indigenous struggles, and the power of Latinxs and the global south. A live show will hit multiple genres including bullerengue, cumbia, merengue, gaita, and kreyol champeta, all accompanied by their deep voices and punk rock attitude. This ain't your mama's drum trio, and it ain't what we used to call world music. It's three powerful modern women playing original music influenced by and based in the folklore of their country, who are also not afraid to challenge the traditions by adding the urban elements which define the contemporary Bogota that has shaped them. Ariel Posen Tuesday, May 14 at 9:30pm Ariel Posen's music occupies the space between genres. It's a rootsy sound that nods to his influences — heartland rock & roll, electrified Americana, blue-eyed soul, R&B, Beatles-inspired pop — while still moving forward, pushing Posen into territory that's uniquely his own. Along the way, Posen has received standing ovations not only from his audiences, but also from outlets like Rolling Stone, who dubbed him "a modern-day guitar hero," Music Radar listing him as a fan voted top 10 rock guitarist of the year, and the Western Canadian Music Awards who nominated him for Breakout Artist of the Year in 2020 and 2021, as well as Rock Artist of the Year and Recording of the Year in 2022.
