Hosted by Lukas Thimm, “So Many Issues with Lukas” is the late-night talk show reinvented for a new generation — smart, fast and unapologetically funny. The show has been spotlighted by The Hollywood Reporter, New York Post and Mediaite, with Thimm interviewing everyone from Andy Cohen and Stephanie Ruhle to Peppermint and New York Comptroller Brad Lander.
As part of the New York Comedy Festival, “So Many Issues” brings a special live edition packed with stand-up from top NYC comedians Jaboukie, Mary Beth Barone, Sydnee Washington, Robby Hoffman and more, along with hilarious games and an exclusive guest interview. Produced by Show Legs Productions founded by Marjorie McCurry, this late-night experiment proves that the future of talk shows belongs to the deeply funny and delightfully unfiltered.
“Jaboukie Young-White rose to fame telling lies on Twitter—the FBI killed M.L.K. Jr., Biden’s a lech—that, like his ongoing stints telling truth to power as a correspondent on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, felt somehow authentic despite their outrageousness. But whether partnering with Issa Rae on an HBO adaptation of Vanessa R. Panfil’s The Gang’s All Queer: The Lives of Gay Gang Members or appearing in Mike Mills’s new movie C’mon C’mon, Young-White is now doing more storytelling than trolling.” — Jesse Dorris, Interview Magazine
“Inspired by European arthouses and grand cafés, the Brooklyn Art Haus [is] home to multiple rehearsal and performance spaces, a podcast recording studio, art gallery, and a lounge with bar and restaurant. Despite its European roots and wide-ranging services, the Haus’s founders are working to make sure the space is warm, welcoming, and affordable to artists and patrons alike.” — Kirstyn Brendlen, Brooklyn Paper
