The Art of Stand-Up

Curator and writer Miriam Katz presents a showcase of comedians, featuringEugene Mirman, Jerrod Carmichael, Morgan Murphy, as well as special surprise guests, each with their own distinct style, all performing and engaging the contentious question: “Is stand-up comedy art?” The event launches Katz’s podcast, “Breakdown,” which features in-depth interviews with both visual artists and comedians, as part of her ongoing endeavor to connect the worlds of comedy and art. The Art of Stand-Up is a New York Comedy Festival program.
