Heart of Darkness (feat. live sets by Reggie Watts, Greg Barris, Rory Scovel, Kate Berlant and more!)

A staple in New York’s downtown stand-up scene, Greg Barris is the creator of Heart Of Darkness: a psychedelic showcase of comedy, live music and fringe scientists that just recently had its 20th sold-out show in a row, at Union Hall in Brooklyn! Heart Of Darkness has been a frequent TimeOut New York critic’s pick, and has also been hailed by the Village Voice and the New Yorker as well — and BrooklynVegan calls it “NYC’s most awe-inspiring comedy/variety/brainz shows.” Tonight’s show features live music/video/comedy and insight from Reggie Watts, Everything is Terrible!, Rory Scovel, Kate Berlant and Greg Barris, plus other special things. Bring a sin and be forgiven. -
