Lavender Marriage New York Performances

At The Stand NYC, *Lavender Marriage* is a comedy set that borrows its title from the history of mixed-orientation marriages once used to shield queer lives in public view. Presented during the New York Laughs Festival, Oscar Aydin works through new material with guest appearances that include Tim Dillon. The show treats “lavender” as both a social code and a punch line, tracing how reputation, career, and desire can collide in a city that sells reinvention. Its sharpest moments come when the jokes refuse nostalgia and stay with the cost of concealment.
