House of Speakeasy: Seriously Entertaining Joe’s Pub

Seriously Entertaining, New York’s premier literary cabaret series showcasing writers and their passions, is an intellectual roller-coaster of a show. The Wall Street Journal calls it “Think-y entertainment for New York’s book-loving crowd,” The New York Times says it’s “a literary mixtape [with] perfect flow and variety,” and CBS Local News adds: “You have never seen a cabaret quite like this…. The lineup includes some of the most brilliant minds in the literary and artistic worlds.”

Rachel Eliza Griffiths is an award-winning poet and photographer. Her fourth and most recent full-length poetry collection is Lighting the Shadow, which was a finalist for the 2015 Balcones Poetry Prize and the 2016 Phillis Wheatley Book Award in Poetry.

David Kilcullen is the Chairman of Caerus Associates and former Special Advisor to the Secretary of State from 2007-2009 and Senior Advisor to General David Petraeus in Iraq in 2007. He is the author of bestselling books The Accidental Guerrilla, Counterinsurgency and most recently The Blood Year: The Unraveling of Western Counterterrorism.

Julie Scelfo is a former staff writer and current contributor to The New York Times.  Scelfo’s work has appeared in Salon, O, The Oprah Magazine, Epicurious, Time Out New York and on Literary Hub. Scelfo recently published a book entitled The Women Who Made New York.
