Let Me Finish! Girls Write Now Voices of Comedy
About the Event
Enjoy an afternoon filled with big laughs, bold stories, and plenty of heart as mentees take the mic for their stand-up comedy debut. The event will also feature performances by NYC-based female stand-up comedians. Let’s honor these young voices as they use comedy to challenge the status quo—one punchline at a time. This showcase is the culminating event of our Power of Punchlines: Stand-Up Comedy for Change Journey.
