Wild Card Comedy FT Daniel Van Kirk

Wild Card Comedy lands at Alphaville with a rotating lineup built around stand-up and loose, room-responsive bits. The current bill includes Jarrett Campbell and Daniel Van Kirk, both known for working close to the grain of the audience rather than above it. In New York’s long tradition of small-room comedy, nights like this keep the form local and provisional, shaped by whoever shows up. Its value is in process: jokes tested in public, then either kept or discarded.
