World Cup Championship at Brooklyn Brewery
About This Event
Brooklyn Brewery hosts a World Cup–themed gathering that foregrounds national teams' public presences: Australia’s Socceroos, the Paraguay and Turkey national sides, and the U.S. men’s national team appear alongside local bean‑to‑bar maker Raaka Chocolate. Each football program brings a federation‑driven, system‑oriented identity to the venue, while Raaka offers a New York production context rooted in Red Hook sourcing and bean‑to‑bar craft.
About Killing Jokes - A Rock N Roll Comedy Show
“Killing Jokes - A Rock N Roll Comedy Show” lands at Brooklyn Brewery as a live, in-room hybrid of stand-up structure and rock-set pacing, tuned to the city’s taste for genre overlap.

Its NYC premiere history isn’t widely documented, but it fits a long New York lineage of comedy borrowing the tempo and attitude of downtown music scenes. The earned takeaway is that the format treats the room as part of the material, which can sharpen both punchlines and riffs.
