ALLOW ME !

0 upcoming performances in New York

ALLOW ME arrives in New York City as a live stand-up set at Gramercy Theatre, led by comedian Rahul Dua. The title echoes John Seward Johnson II’s public bronze “Allow Me,” a work that exists in multiple casts across American cities and in a handful of private collections, suggesting a broader cultural afterlife beyond any single location. Here, that borrowed phrase becomes a frame for permission, approach, and social negotiation, translated into observational comedy. The pairing feels deliberate: a familiar public-art gesture repurposed as a stage premise.
