    About This Event

    Girl Church, hosted by Amelia Ritthaler, presents a mixed lineup at Union Hall that pairs New York rock/pop songwriters with character-driven comedians. The bill features Abby (whose puppet-theater and voice-acting background shapes a precise, character-led vocal approach), lyric-forward sets from Baniewicz and Rebecca, and comedy from Ashley and Nanda, all performing in the small-room, clarity-first style the series favors.

    About Girl Church

    Girl Church brings a rock/pop set to Union Hall, hosted by Amelia Ritthaler with performers Tessa, Belle, Abby, and Govindan. The show frames pop-song structure as a group event, with the host guiding transitions and pacing rather than disappearing between numbers. In New York, where small rooms often double as testing grounds for new lineups, this reads as a practical snapshot of DIY performance culture. One clear strength is its emphasis on ensemble presence over individual spotlight.
