    About N2S: Earthquake's Father's Day Comedy Show

    N2S: Earthquake’s Father’s Day Comedy Show lands at NJPAC with Earthquake leading an evening of stand-up built around family life, aging, and the uneasy comedy of responsibility. The setting matters for New York–area audiences: Newark’s performing-arts center often functions as a parallel stage to the city’s club circuit, drawing the same crowds across the river. This is not billed as an NYC premiere, and no specific premiere history is established. The material’s edge comes from how it treats Father’s Day sentiment as something to test rather than endorse.
