DAN KITROSSER is
KAREN TENDERNESS in
“HAVE YOU SEEN MY HOUSE?”
with Luke McGinnis on the Keys

You’re going to love Karen Tenderness’ new house — that is, if she can find it! You see, Karen (played by Fringie Award Winner Dan Kitrosser) has lost her godfricken house, and now, through a whirlwind cabaret, and with your help, she’s going to find it! While belting songs by Patti Smith, Bette Midler, Dolly Pardon and more, this Karen Tenderness Cabaret answers the age old question: Where is Karen Tenderness’ house?

Dan’s work has been called:
“messy, obnoxious, and all over the place…spectacularly free and fun.” - Vulture
“smart, original, refreshing, and maybe even necessary.” - The New Yorker
“An uncut gem” - The New York Times

Two hosts, three guests, no clue. The Clip Show is a live comedy show hosted by renowned character actresses R. Eric Thomas and Chris Newcomer. Every night they welcome three famous guests who each have a new project to promote. The catch?

Presented by visionary producer Ms. Piggy, The Clip Show is one-part improv show, one part old-school talk show, one part Pirin tablets, one part other parts.
