🎭 OCTOBER 15 AT ASYLUM NYC

Fifteen years after last sharing the stage, Lauren Engel and Ahna Tessler are reuniting to resurrect the sketch comedy that brought them together: This Thursday! (Yes, that’s the name of the show.)

After years writing TV pilots and feature films in Hollywood, Lauren and Ahna are getting back to what they love most—performing live.

Expect razor-sharp wit, dark humor, twisted characters, and fast-paced sketches from two comedy writers who are older, wiser, and still fearless as hell.

📅 October 15
📍 Asylum NYC

🎥 Please note: This performance will be filmed as part of a documentary production.

🎭 WELCOME TO OPENING NIGHT… AND CLOSING NIGHT.

SH*TZPROBE is a fully improvised musical where a Broadway star throws away the script and makes up an entire musical on the spot.

🎶 Every song.
💃 Every dance move.
🎭 Every line of dialogue.
🎹 Even the score from the live band.

It’s all completely improvised—and it will never be performed again.

The best part? YOU name the musical. Shout out a title that doesn’t exist, and watch the cast turn it into a brand-new Broadway show right before your eyes.

Past Sh*tzprobe guests have included Broadway favorites from Aladdin, Wicked, Spamalot, Funny Girl, Mean Girls, The Prom, Freestyle Love Supreme, Titanique and more!

So… what the f*** is a Sh*tzprobe?

A “sitzprobe” is the first rehearsal where the cast and orchestra of a musical perform together. Sh*tzprobe skips the rehearsal, throws away the script, and makes the whole damn thing up.

✨ One night. One musical. Never to be seen again.

💪✨ TIFFANY IN SPANDEX THE MUSICAL ✨💪
📅 September 17–27

"I THINK WE’RE IN SPANDEX NOW!"

’80s pop icon Tiffany makes her NYC theater debut in SPANDEX, a hilarious new aerobics-based musical packed with big hair, bigger dreams, and plenty of Lycra. 🎶🕺

Set against the glorious backdrop of the 1988 Crystal Light Aerobic Championship, three women team up to take down the menacing, poorly mulleted Trip Allen in the only place he might be vulnerable: the aerobics floor.

Starring Tiffany, Sims Lamason, and Catherine Ashmore Bradley, Spandex is part underdog story, part musical comedy, and 100% ’80s.

🏋️ Aerobics. 🎵 Original music. 👖 Questionable fashion choices.

September 17–27 at Asylum NYC!

The rules are simple: pick options off the screen, survive, and you could win money. Choose wrong? You die and win a terrible prize. 💀

Hosted by improv comedy overlord John Robertson, this cult comedy experience gets the entire crowd playing, laughing, and chanting along.
