Words are powerful, but are they scary? Sometimes! Case in point, the word “moist.” EWWW! THIS Friday, October 14, join VOCABARET for a “hallowed eve about the language that keeps us up at night: WORD NIGHTMARES.” Insert blood-curdling scream. Your best competitive punners (Sam Corbin, Tim Donnelly, Jerzy Gwiazdowski, Ally Spier and Nikolai Vanyo) will be sharing “gory tales of butchered terms, deciphering cryptic texts from the great beyond, pulling back the curtain on some of the theater’s spookiest unspoken superstitions, and more” at the Lower East Side speakeasy, Caveat. Your decorated wordsmith have earned more than 50 champion titles at Brooklyn’s Punderdome, taken top spots at the O. Henry National Pun-Off in Austin, and baffled judges on America’s Got Talent. They been featured on The New Yorker, InStyle, The New York Post, The President Show, and all over the “puniverse.” Join them This Friday for some super spooky quips!
