Lavender Marriage New York Performances

*Lavender Marriage* is a stand-up set that borrows its title from a once-common cover story: mixed-orientation marriages used to protect reputations in an era when being openly queer could end a career. Presented at The Stand NYC as part of the New York Laughs Festival, the show centers on Oscar Aydin’s current material, with Tim Dillon also on the bill. It treats “passing” and public performance as related acts, sometimes uncomfortably so. In New York, that tension reads less like history and more like a living archive.
