Straight White Fail

4 upcoming performances in New York

“Straight White Fail” is a stand-up bill at New York Comedy Club’s East Village room, built around Neko White alongside Jarrett Campbell and Lizzy Cassidy, with sets also from Michael Blaustein and Caitlin Peluffo. Campbell, a Canadian comic, brings the title’s irony into sharp relief; his Juno-nominated 2019 album signaled a style that moves by clean premises and direct turns. White’s Comedy Cellar background situates the night in a recognizable New York lineage. The lineup reads like a snapshot of how contemporary club comedy tests identity talk without letting it become the whole joke.
