Can you imagine a sketch show where the writers meet at 9am, the scripts are finalized at 3:30pm, the actors rehearse from 5-9pm, and the show goes live at 11pm? There’s no need to contemplate such a scenario because its all happening this Saturday, November 4th at The Tank in NYC. Who Made The Potato Salad? is a sketch cram show made in a day, written, directed, and starring underrepresented performers in comedy from The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Comedy Central, Luke Cage, UCB, and more. Hosted and created by X Mayo (UCB, A Tribe Called West), the show features a live DJ, twerking, and a perhaps a smidge of the cognac. If you are ready to watch some dope, marginalized performers amplify their voices, showcase their talents and tell their stories, this is the cookout for you. Get ready for “black excellence, ratchetness, and righteousness,” kids!
Mentions: Show 11pm. Tickets are $7 in advance and $10 the day of. The Tank is located at 312 West 36th Street, New York, NY, 10018. More info on Facebook.
