Jo Firestone Presents: International Pretzel Stackers Competition
About This Event
Jo Firestone, a New York–based comedian who performs at UCB and created shows including Punderdome 3000 and Friends of Single People, presents the International Pretzel Stackers Competition at Littlefield. Listed under dance, the event frames a competitive performance conceit that will likely draw on Firestone's theatrical and comedic tools rather than conventional stand‑up.
About International Pretzel Stackers Competition
At Littlefield, comedian Jo Firestone stages the “International Pretzel Stackers Competition” as a dance-coded event built around a mock contest. The premise treats stacked pretzels like choreography, using rules, timing, and public scrutiny to turn a familiar snack into a performance object. Firestone’s background in New York comedy informs the structure, but the piece reads less like stand-up than like an inquiry into what an audience will agree to call dance. No specific NYC premiere history is publicly established, though it fits Brooklyn’s ongoing tradition of hybrid, genre-slippery performance.
