Kids, the Chinese New Year is quickly approaching. Come celebrate the “Year of the Pig” this Wednesday, January 30th at the MODEL MAJORITY Lunar New Year Kick-Off Show! Model Majority is New York City’s #1 ALL Asian-American sketch team and they’re ready to bring you major laughs at The Tank this week. This is your chance to enjoy fresh comedy, drink Tiger Beer and also receive one of those red envelopes. Oooh! Red is considered a weapon of defense against misfortune in Chinese astrology, so we sure hope this year doesn’t correspond to your zodiac year or you’ll really need to be doused in scarlet. Your cast members for this stellar event have appeared at UCB, The PIT, Caroline’s, Gotham Comedy Club, Stand Up NY, and Broadway Comedy Club with TV credits including SNL, Comedy Central, Tracy Morgan’s The Last OG, Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, Blue Bloods, Step Up 3, Blacklist, Ray Donovan and Law & Order: SVU.
