Quick Dish NY: VOCABARET ‘Faking It’ Variety Hour 4.14 at Caveat

Ready to pluck yourself from tax accounting hell and into the world of those precious words we use on the regular? Yes, anything to get away from stressful numbers, please! THIS Friday, April 14th, join VOCABARET for a show all about artifice! Come again? Your favorite word champs are taking a look at language that misleads, manipulates, and mimics. Oh, so the normal ones. Hosts Sam Corbin, Tim Donnelly, Jerzy Gwiazdowski, Ally Spier, Nikolai Vanyo and friends will wrestle with the reality of staged performances, considering how ambiguous phrases weasel their way into our vocabulary, exploring genuine limitations of artificial intelligence, questioning the reel motivations behind some major movies, and learning how a ventriloquist lends a hand to his dummy. You know, the fun stuff! Enjoy!

Mentions: Doors 6:30pm, Show 7pm ET. Tickets $15 advance, $20 at the door, $10 livestream. Location: Caveat | 21 A Clinton St, New York, NY 10002. Follow the show. Feed the beast.
