Emmy Blotnick "What's Her Secret?" Special Premiere Party
About This Event

About What's Her Secret?
At Union Hall, Emmy Blotnick marks the New York City premiere of “What’s Her Secret?” with a one-night premiere party built like a variety bill. The comedy lineup includes Aaron Chen, Chen, Liza Treyger, and additional guests, moving between stand-up and character-driven work. The show treats “secret” as a frame for how women are watched, read, and explained in public, then turns that scrutiny into material. Its sharpest observation is structural: the night’s shifting voices make the premise feel less like a punchline and more like a record of social habits.
