Layers: PROLONGED EYE CONTACT: You Can’t Look Away… and, for Once, You Won’t Want To!
Let’s face it, one-person shows go one of two ways – Either you leave the show nauseated by a performer’s inflamed ego, or you walk away profoundly affected. KRISTEN STUDARD’s brave testimony of a modern woman’s navigation, through the unhinged world of dating, will take you on a journey. You’ll laugh. You’ll cringe. You’ll die […]

Layers: And The Award Goes to PULITZER SURPRISES!
“Reading is hard, especially if you can’t do it”. This is what Josh Pulitzer told himself every time he failed to pronounce his last name. “Pull, sir! No… Pillow stir! No…Seltzer!” He really understood the great difficulty of reading. For him, reading was just as difficult as Olympic swimming or getting first place in the […]
Layers: The Weinbachs Steal The Show at VINTAGE BASEMENT
Walls are not equivalent to DNA. Walls were not equivalent to DNA 20 years ago, and the chances of them becoming like DNA anytime soon is unlikely. I’m not trying to hurt anyone’s feelings. There’s just no other way for me to say it other than: Walls are not equivalent to DNA. I say this […]
Layers: TINDER LIVE! with Lane Moore Is Not Just A Show, It’s An Event
Winner Winner Chicken… Tinder? That sounds like an appealing description of myself. Now I’m ready. Look! I just got a message from… Feel? Is Feel even a person?

Layers: You Can’t Have A MEDIAWITCH FUN FEST without Some Comedy Spells
I’ve been saying this for a while, but I really want everyone in the Marvel universe to get into paganism. Why? Well for one, witches love reading, and I don’t know how many (if any) Marvel characters are literate. Like Iron Man. I know he’s rich. I’ve seen his house. Yet, I’ve never seen him […]
Layers: Navigating The Comedy Depths of TRUTH SERUM at Q.E.D.
Everything in this article that I am about to discuss is the complete truth. No, of course I’ve never lied in other articles! Save embellishment for the law; I’m only interested in the truth. There are many types of truths: water truths, circumcised truths, and my personal favorite: comedic truths. The truth hurts yes, but […]
Layers: Let’s Talk About GIANMARCO SORESI’s “One Sided Conversation”
Therapy can be very therapeutic. That’s what my therapist told me. Also, my therapist never refers to me as a patient or client and only refers to me as her therapute. I don’t know why. But, I do know that no session that I’ve had with my therapist has been quite as therapeutic as Gianmarco […]
