A dual look-alike contest dedicated to the comedian behind The Rehearsal\u00a0and the\u00a0imprisoned reason Amanda Seyfried has an Emmy\u00a0is taking over Washington Square Park this Sunday, October 25, at 1pm.<\/p>\n<p>RECOMMENDED:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.timeout.com\/film\/the-best-horror-movies-of-2026-so-far\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">15 Best Horror Movies of 2026 (Ranked &amp; Updated: October 2026)<\/a><\/p>\n<p>A week after documentary\u00a0You Can See Everything finally hit theaters, Fielder and Lance Oppenheim&#8217;s sui generis\u00a0documentary gets decidedly more 2026 with a lookalike contest. Because are you even popular if NYC doesn&#8217;t organize <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timeout.com\/newyork\/news\/a-timothee-chalamet-look-alike-competition-is-happening-in-nyc-we-cant-hide-our-excitement-100724\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a lookalike contest<\/a> around you at this point?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The fun doesn\u2019t end when the winner is crowned. Organizers are also planning a ticketed afterparty at The Alligator in Williamsburg, a bar with a particularly appropriate connection to Fielder: an early episode of his HBO series The Rehearsal\u00a0was filmed there. Attendees will have the chance to party with the contestants, which sounds like the kind of social situation that most people avoid going to at all, and that ultimately gives rise to socially inept people like Fielder and Holmes.<\/p>\n<p>Whether you\u2019re a dead ringer for Fielder\u2019s perpetually bewildered expression or can pull off Holmes\u2019 signature black-turtleneck look, this is your chance to put your resemblance to work. And if you\u2019re simply curious to see a crowd of New Yorkers competing to look like a comedian and a convicted fraudster, Washington Square Park is probably the place to be. And besides, at this point, who knows what other lookalike contests are being held just a few feet away? Maybe this week will also be the Clayface lookalike contest.<\/p>\n<p>For more information, click <a href=\"https:\/\/partiful.com\/e\/qbzN6sZ7XSS0K17SN5Oi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">here<\/a>.
