Katie Hannigan and Tatiana Frank are two of the hottest comics in NYC today. Join the live audience for this back to back special taping. Katie Hannigan (Late Show, Comedy Central) delivers a sharp feminist reality check on marriage and aging. And Tatiana Frank (Don’t Tell)&nbsp; brings her dry, self aware humor to this one night only event! 
Tatiana Frank is a Miami-raised, Brooklyn-based comedian, writer, and actor known for blending sharp storytelling with raw, confessional humor about her most awkward and chaotic life experiences. A regular at clubs like New York Comedy Club, she’s built a growing following through her stand-up, digital sets, and her web series Thought Daughter
Katie Hannigan started stand up in the 2010’s NYC open mic scene, which was 95% composed of “nice guys” named “Matt.”&nbsp; Against all odds, she developed a unique voice, both feminist and whimsical, and ascended from the truth telling comedy bros. In 2018, she debuted on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. And in 2022 Her album Feeling of Emptiness was named top 10 of the year. Now, she headlines across the country, bringing this brave work to back country holes, like St. Louis.&nbsp; Katie is witty, honest, and on 75 mg of Zoloft.
