Best Friends with Nicole Byer and Sasheer Zamata
About This Event
Best Friends pairs Nicole Byer with Sasheer Zamata at the Gramercy Theatre. Zamata, whose national profile rose during her 2014–2017 tenure on NBC’s Saturday Night Live, moves between stand-up and screen roles (Woke, Home Economics, Agatha All Along) and leans on tight rhythms and precise character work that favor clarity over spectacle.
About Best Friends
Joe Flood from Washington, DC, USA
At Gramercy Theatre, *Best Friends* arrives in New York as a live comedy event built around the uneasy cultural afterlife of powerful friendships and what they conceal. Featured performers Nicole Byer and Sasheer Zamata use stand-up and onstage conversation to trace how notoriety, rumors, and public images get recycled into entertainment. It lands in a city that routinely turns political scandal into stage material, from downtown cabaret to late-night satire. The sharpest moments don’t resolve anything; they document how laughter can function as both critique and cover.
