All-Star After-Hours Comedy Revue on March 24 featuring Josh Gondelman, Ted Alexandro, Sean Patton, Michelle Wolf, Phoebe Robinson, and Jessica Williams

New York, NY – The Jewish Museum will host a special presentation of the popular after-hours series, The Wind Up, with a comedy revue featuring a diverse lineup of comedians on Thursday, March 24 at 8pm. Organized by Josh Gondelman, writer for Last Week Tonight with John Oliver and co-author of You Blew It, the lineup includes sets by Ted Alexandro (Comedy Central Presents), Sean Patton (Comedy Central Half Hour), Michelle Wolf (Late Night with Seth Meyers), and 2 Dope Queens (Phoebe Robinson and The Daily Show’s Jessica Williams) with a performance by musical guest Anya Marina. Said Gondelman, “I wanted to book really funny people with strong, singular points of view, which I think is an attribute that both New Yorkers and Jews can relate to – the idea of being able to vividly and comedically express a unique or off-beat `opinion.’”

The evening also includes an open bar with beer and wine, a gallery tour of the acclaimed contemporary art exhibition, Unorthodox, at 8pm, and an opportunity to view the newly opened exhibition, Isaac Mizrahi: An Unruly History.

Tickets for the March 24 Wind Up are $13 in advance; $18 day of event. For further information, the public may call 212.423.3337. Tickets for this program can be purchased online at thejewishmuseum.org/thewindup. The Jewish Museum is located at Fifth Avenue and 92nd Street, Manhattan.
