AUGUST in NYC

So many shows! It is summertime, and I am about to turn 50. Maybe I should take this opportunity to announce my FINAL DECADE OF PERFORMING!

(It's possible that could be extended, or cut short, by circumstances. The world is crazy. But it does feel like I am closer to the end than the beginning, just based on my mood and various context clues.)

I think ALL of these NYC shows listed below are also available to STREAM, if you are looking for a way to support live comedy without leaving the comfort of your own home (or wherever you happen to be with your internet-enabled devices!)

TONIGHT!

ASSSSCAT • 7pm at UCBNY
The Stepfathers with Special Guest PHIL JACKSON! • 9pm at UCBNY

And 2 Wednesdays from now:

August 27th at UCBNY

I have been doing CONNOR RATLIFF presents THE ACTING CLASS for over a year now, and I believe this will be my 25th “class"/(show). It will also occur ON my 50th birthday, but I’m not promoting it as a “birthday show” even though, in some ways, that will be exactly what it is.

If you have been “thinking about" attending one in person or buying a livestream ticket but have yet to do so, a sold-out show would be a fine birthday present for me.

Monday, 8/18: AND SCENE at Caveat
Raaaatscraps every Sunday at Caveat

Best wishes to you all. Every day the world is exhausting. Try to be kind to someone today, if you can muster the energy.

connor!
