Bite into a hot slice of NYC life every first Friday of the month at 44 Charlton — the world’s first and only variety show smashing together the gutsiest comedy, music, dance, theater, spoken word, and genre-bending performances on a single stage, hosted by the sometimes salty, always sexy Julian Fleisher.

t's the final 44 Charlton of the season, and we're going out with a celebration of Pride! On this show: New York singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Stephin Merritt (of The Magnetic Fields and House of Tomorrow), comedian Bowen Yang (High Maintenance, SNL) and rapper Nappy Nina.

Bring your expectations to the door, then pick them up again after the show.

About the Host

From Lincoln Center to downtown dive bars, all of New York is host Julian Fleisher's playground and stage. He's performed with, for or adjacent to an astonishing number of nightlife luminaries. Singer, writer, producer and host of WNYC Studios' The Naked American Songbook, he's never won a Peabody, but he was named "Best Calves Below 14th Street" by a committee of very earnest businessmen. Google him; we don’t have the space to do his accolades justice.
