About This Event
Comedians Big Jay Oakerson and Luis J. Gomez headline Story Warz, joined by special guests, at New York Comedy Club - Midtown. Oakerson brings storytelling and improvisational instincts honed on the city club circuit and in The Legion of Skanks, while Gomez applies a podcast-inflected, bluntly specific stand-up approach rooted in New York’s club scene.
About The Stand
The Stand is an epic post-apocalyptic dark fantasy novel written by American author Stephen King and first published in 1978 by Doubleday. The plot centers on a deadly pandemic of weaponized influenza and its aftermath, in which some of the few surviving humans gather into factions that are each led by a personification of either good or evil and seem fated to clash with each other. King started writing the story in February 1975, seeking to create an epic in the spirit of The Lord of the Rings. The book was difficult for him to write because of the large number of characters and storylines. The novel marks the first appearance of Randall Flagg, King's recurring antagonist, whom King would reintroduce several times in his later writings.
