Following a glitzy (and sold-out) run at this summer's Spiegeltent, Weimar New York rallies for another wildly entertaining performance at Joe's Pub. Host Justin Bond, himself fresh from a stint at Carnegie Hall with Kiki & Herb, recreates 1920s Berlin in downtown NYC, with help from avant-performance artist Taylor Mac, suave German torch-singer Daniel Isengart, and outspoken monologuist Penny Arcade. The evening of burlesque, comedy, and music has special resonance in this election year, as performers draw comparisons between conservative America and the rise of fascism in post-WWI Germany.
