About This Event

About Soft Focus
“Soft Focus” is a comedy lineup at New York Comedy Club’s East Village room, featuring Liz Glazer, Drew Michael, Charles McBee, Jena Friedman, and Jason Choi. The bill brings together working stand-up voices with Friedman, known for the Adult Swim series of the same name, where satire and interviews blur into one another without losing their edges. This isn’t billed as a premiere, but it reflects a familiar New York pattern: comics refining material in close quarters, with the room itself shaping the work. The title feels apt, suggesting how comedy can soften detail while keeping the sharp outline of an argument.
