Anoush Froundjian and Aida Zilelian bring their vowels to the stage to show you what this Armenian thing is really about. See three guest storytellers: one who is Armenian, and two wildcards, as they delve into the concept of cultures, both known and lesser-known, followed by an end-of-show Q&A with the performers where they each share something they love about their backgrounds. Watch and find out how you, me, Cher, and all of System of a Down, are not as different as we thought because, ultimately, we’re just here to make friends. Come over, sit back, and, in the words of our fathers: “Feel yourselves at home.” ***Lineups subject to change. **_NOTE:_ To purchase tickets you will need to affirm that you have read and agree to the QED ticketing policies.

Comedian Dan Frank (New York Comedy Festival, PN & Friends) brings together New York’s funniest comics to test out their newest bits. Before a joke appears on a televised special or on an album, it lives a fascinating life of twists and turns. The rules are simple: Laugh if it's funny… And maybe politely fake laugh a little if it’s not because hey, trying new things is hard! This show is a favorite of Time Out New York and you just can’t bottle the infectious energy that erupts every single show! This is a guaranteed good time for a solo outing, date night or group hang. We of course also highly recommended this show to all our beloved Astoria comedy nerds. This is where the magic happens!
