JOKE MACHINE New York Performances

JOKE MACHINE brings Emmy Blotnick and Joe Zimmerman to Union Hall for a stand-up bill shaped by New York’s working-comedian circuit. Blotnick, a NYC-based comic with writing and producing credits across TV, folds a writer’s sense of structure into bits that move like short scenes. Zimmerman pairs that with a measured, idea-driven style that favors clarity over volume. The night matters less as a “premiere” than as a snapshot of how Brooklyn rooms test, refine, and circulate contemporary comedy.
