About ITMATTERS
ITMATTERS is a stand-up showcase currently running at New York Comedy Club – Midtown, built around a rotating bill rather than a single headliner. This set features Santi Espinosa, Mahesh Kotagi, Alexis Carabano, and Joe Russell, each working within the club’s house rhythm of short, tightly timed sets. Carabano’s approach leans on patient observation and measured pacing, a useful counterpoint to the quicker, punchline-forward styles around him.
