Knockouts All-Stars

It's 2026 and we're feeling more beautiful than ever. Our stunning good looks and quite franky undeniable charisma call to mind the common adage of if you got it, flaunt it. Thanks to Knockouts Comedy Fest, we decided that we had no choice but to flaunt it at Starr Bar in a perfect show that will have everything: stand-up, sketch,&nbsp;temporary tattoos, glitter, a vague fast and furious theme that you can take or lepave, friends, family, failed loves, the promise of tomorrow, the gift of the present. Need I say more? Tickets below. Love you...

Knockouts On The Rise

Kugels and Komedians

A comedy show in the heart of the East Village hosted by Emily Wilson with DJ Good Attitude.

Tuesdays at the Red Room

Solo Series showcase:Brooke&nbsp;Finegold"Something Blue" is a gay story told through straight weddings. She takes us to Miami for her sister's bachelorette party, to California to meet her new step parents, and finally to Georgia to uncover her dead gay cousin's legacy. This show is for anyone who has experimented with hair dye or has ever done a gay thing one time (or more).&nbsp;Liz CoinWith her co-star running late, "Lizzy Sunshine" must carry a double act... alone. It's a positively chaotic comedy hour by addiction's (fun!) little sister. Like Glee unwilling to admit it’s Baby Reindeer... but don't worry, it's not sad! Lizzy Sunshine had a sold out Off-Broadway at Soho Playhouse, received rave reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and was invited to perform in London May 2026Lissa Lenis"Malcriada" is a stand-up show by Queens-born latina comedian Lissa Lenis, that turns the word “malcriada” into a badge of bold, unfiltered truth. Through sharp storytelling and fearless comedy, Lissa tackles body image, mental health, family expectations, and growing up latina in New York City. The show marks the arrival of a distinct new voice in contemporary comedy. Very raw, personal, and impossible to ignore.Meg MillaneAfter the success of her debut 5-star solo show, Meg Millane is at it again with "Bride to Be," a&nbsp;sharp, character-driven comedy about a woman deep in wedding planning. As she navigates cakes, DJs, and family expectations, she unravels the history and cultural weight of marriage, forcing herself to confront what commitment actually means to her. Torn between spectacle and substance, she must decide if she’s planning a wedding… or redefining it.

Solo Series showcase:Opener: Stand Up by Colette GregoryAma MarfoAccording to recent studies, 50% of American singles aren't actively looking for a partner or relationship. These jokes are for them. In this show, “anxious Black nerd” Amma Marfo deftly explores dating fatigue, self-acceptance, and what it looks like to live a life full of love - while giving her swiping thumb a rest.Carly Polistina"Jane Eyre Wasn't A Whore", written and performed by Carly Polistina, follows the story of aspiring actor and Brontë enthusiast Anne Brauer who, while staunchly opposed to modern dating, finds herself in a situationship of GOTHIC proportions. Much like a musical where the characters break into songs, she breaks into passages from Brontë novels making it a rom-com, period piece adventure. Polistina is a New York City based actor, writer, and stand-up comedian.&nbsp;Patricia Dinglasan"Modern Asian Mom" showcases&nbsp;Filipino American comedian, Patricia Dinglasan, as she raises her teenage American kids as best she can while healing from her crazy mother’s parenting and tragic suicide. The show sheds light on challenges for the Asian American community in particular: parenting, mental health and blending cultural beliefs.

HERlarious has now become a female empowering institution where the cast members (former and current) continue to build partnerships, mentor one another, and continue to collectively elevate our voices in what is still an underrepresented field for women.

"Hey… do you have a minute?” Bad from your boyfriend but worse from your boss.

Gold Comedy Presents: Funny and Hot

The HERlarious Show

Hailed as an “improper quintet of funny ladies” by the New York Times, “a lady tastic treasure” by Buzzfeed and “demented” by TimeOut NY, the Ladies Who Ranch is a five-person comedy group known for their individual voices. This live show will showcase a grab bag of raucous characters, raunchy songs, clown-inspired chaos and dreamy monologues - it's like watching the female experience, unhinged. In the past they’ve shown Lin Manuel Miranda berating people for not seeing Hamilton enough. Sandy from Grease, but a lesbian. A live egg auction. A girl who’s in jail for being too hot. And a woman explaining her dark past to a person buying her couch off Craigslist—this collective is nothing short of batshit. Their work has found success on platforms like The Daily Show, Adult Swim, Earwolf, Apple TV+’s Dickinson, Comedy Central, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, and Slamdance Film Festival.
