GOING UP with SARA SCHAEFER

  • Eris Mainstage 167 Graham Avenue Brooklyn, NY, 11206 United States (map)

DOORS: 6:30 PM

SHOW: 7:00 PM

Eris Mainstage

Come see Sara Schaefer’s critically acclaimed solo show at Brooklyn Comedy Collective in conjunction with her art installation at BCC’s Dog House Gallery! Following the performance, join Sara at the gallery for an after party. 

In her solo show, Sara Schaefer teaches you how to unlock your potential in this fake(?) seminar about defeating your hecklers, developing your TS (thick skin) and achieving total perfect comedy success. No matter your walk of life, you can make your dreams come true simply by Going Up!

“Spoofing the cult of comedy in the language of Scientology, the wry, incisive stand-up Sara Schaefer adopts the pose, jargon and microphone of a guru in her new solo show about how to make it in the stand-up business. ‘Going Up’ (a riff on the Scientology term ‘Going Clear’),... is ambitious and nimble, sneakily personal with enough inside-baseball jokes to make it a must-see for comedy nerds. The most impressive example of this, and the bit I am most looking forward to revisiting, is when Schaefer illustrates every kind of modern stand-up by doing the same genre of joke, over and over again, in a multitude of styles. It’s a feat of comedy as well as criticism that captures an entire scene in just a few minutes.” - The New York Times
