______________________________________________________ *At Vocabaret, New York City’s most-decorated wordsmiths come together for an eclectic variety hour (and a half) of raucous wordplay, etymological deep dives, and alphabetic absurdity that investigates the intersection of language and everyday life, inspired by a new theme each month.* *It’s hosted by five heavyweight champions of the word: Sam Corbin, Tim Donnelly, Jerzy Gwiazdowski, Ally Spier, and Nikolai Vanyo. They’ve racked up more than 100 titles at pun competitions around the globe; written zingers and tongue twisters for broadcast, radio, and print; and once confused the heck out of* America's Got Talent. *Testimonials:* *"Sunglasses are a must or you will be blinded by their brilliance." - Barry Corbin, Sam’s dad* *"When I read that the show was about ‘conjugation,’ boy was I surprised when they started talking about verbs!" - Todd Farnsworth, a returning audience dad* *"We laughed. We cried. We wet our pants, and that's not just because we're old!" - Martha Farnsworth, a returning audience mom* *Come see the show that* TimeOut *has called one of the best “Things to Do” in the city and* The New York Times *praised as “a night of witty wordplay.”*
