Michelle Wolf: Best Job in the World

“Best Job in the World” arrives at Town Hall as a live comedy event, with featured performer Michelle Wolf. The show works in the long New York tradition of stand-up as civic commentary, using the stage to test what the city will laugh at right now. Town Hall’s history as a venue for public speech gives the material a sharper frame than a club setting. The earned observation is that the room’s formality can make the punchlines land with cleaner contrast.
