Anthony Jeselnik: Wrath of Man
About This Event
Anthony Jeselnik, an American comedian, writer and producer known for dark premises, controlled timing and abrupt turns, appears at NJPAC with Anthony Jeselnik: Wrath of Man. His stand-up tests moral boundaries and relies on tight sentence-level engineering, misdirection and a deliberately abrasive stage persona, emphasizing precision and shock over conversational warmth.
About Wrath of Man
Despite sharing a title with the 2021 Guy Ritchie thriller, this *Wrath of Man* is a live comedy event now playing at NJPAC, with Anthony Jeselnik featured. Jeselnik’s work is built around tightly written misdirection and a controlled, unsmiling stage presence, using taboo subjects as structure rather than shock. It has no specific NYC premiere history on record, but it fits a familiar regional circuit where New York’s club aesthetics travel across the Hudson. The sharpness can feel deliberately withholding, which is part of the design.
