Proud, Werk! New York Performances

Now at Union Hall, Proud, Werk! is a hosted variety night led by Erik Martini and Jer Block. The program moves between hook-minded rock and pop vocals, a guitarist shaped by jazz training, stage performance, and stand-up, with the hosts acting as connective tissue rather than headliners. In a city where comedy rooms often keep to one lane, the show treats genre as material, not a boundary. Its value is in the contrasts it sets up and the attention it asks of the audience.
