About This Event
Backroom Comedy at New York Comedy Club - Midtown presents a lineup featuring Judah Friedlander, Paula J. Leon, Alex Pavone, Cansu and Michael Brigante. Friedlander brings stand-up work and TV credits including 30 Rock and American Splendor; Pavone and Brigante are regulars on New York club rosters, and Cansu is a Turkish actor and presenter who performs in the city with a clean, observational delivery.
About 30 Rock
“30 Rock” here refers to the city’s other 30 Rock: a stand-up showcase staged at New York Comedy Club’s Midtown and East Village rooms. The lineups rotate, with performers including TaTa Sherise, Judah Friedlander, Neko White, Cipha Sounds, and Paula J. Leon, drawing on backgrounds in television, music, and club comedy. Its cultural reference point is unmistakably New York, echoing the midtown TV mythology that made “30 Rock” shorthand for NBC-era Manhattan. The strongest moments treat the city less as a punchline than as a working premise.
