Punkish @ The Broadway
2025-04-24 19:00 - 23:30 | The Broadway, 1272 Broadway, Brooklyn, New York, 11221, United States
Punkish delivers a messy mixtape of loud, weird, beautiful noise from the fringes of rock, electronic, and everything in between. Think dive bar energy meets digital chaos—with just enough melody to hum while you dodge a flying beer can.

Featuring the sonic experiments of Mother Cell, the doom-chant anthems of Die the Monk, the glitch-pop secrets of Secretm, and the electro-punk kink of BDSM57, this show isn’t about fitting in. It’s about blowing it all up, laughing maniacally, and dancing in the rubble.

Come for the distortion, stay for the surprise breakdowns and existential screaming. Get weird with Punkish.

Brooklyn, if your week needs a reset, I’ve got plans for you.

This isn’t one of those stiff comedy rooms — it’s a good crowd, good drinks, and a lineup that actually delivers. Perfect excuse to get out of the apartment midweek.

The laughs start at 8PM, it’s 21 and up, and if you’re feeling brave — or just want to stick around for a little extra chaos — there’s an open mic at 9:30.

So grab a friend, grab a seat and come through to Hart Bar in Bushwick.

Foolery. Wednesday, February 25th. 8PM. Free.

Psychotherapy LIVE! with Dr. Lisa
2026-02-26 07:30 - 21:00 | New York
Psychotherapy LIVE! is live, unscripted, psychotherapy with Dr. Lisa, the self-proclaimed psychotherapist, who invites audience volunteers to lie down for 10-minute “therapy sessions” in front of a live crowd. Part improv comedy, part performance art, part actual psychological deep-dive, and it’s hilarious.

What makes the show distinctive is Levy’s approach: despite being unlicensed, her sessions often result in genuine moments of insight and self-discovery for participants, combining humor with surprisingly thoughtful psychological exploration.

The fake doctor has played everywhere from Joe’s Pub to the Brooklyn Academy of Music to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. She’s “analyzed” countless volunteers, including some celebrity patients who probably should’ve known better. In addition, for the last 10 years, she’s hosted her own radio show, “Dr. Lisa Gives a Shit” on Radio Free Brooklyn.
