BUYER’S REMORSE, happening this Saturday, November 8th at Caveat, is a fast-paced improvised mock trial comedy show where rotating panels of comedians argue topics of the highest stakes: whether a negative review of a business/restaurant gets to stay online vs. get taken down. Did anyone pass the Bar Exam? No. Will the reviews actually be taken down? Probably not. Will this show reach over-the-top hilarity? Absolutely.
One comedian acts as the judge for the entire show, introducing and trying four cases for ten minutes each. Two other comedians act as the lawyer for the reviewer and the lawyer for the business for each case tried, all of which are real reviews with the business names changed. After the opening arguments and a debate, all moderated by the judge, the winning side is determined by the jury (i.e., the audience, based on applause). The NYCF event lineup includes:
Josh Gondelman
Jetta Juriansz
David Bluvband
Tom Powers
Steph Leschek
Alex Iona
Jack Reichert
Felipe Torres Medina
Rima Parikh
Hosted by Rachel Rose Keller
