HELLO, I'M SPECIAL: THE CONTEST

Hosted by CHELSEA PERETTI

Featuring HAL NIEDZVIECKI and his new book HELLO, I’M SPECIAL: HOW INDIVIDUALITY BECAME THE NEW CONFORMITY

What happens when you throw a couple of comedy writers, Broadway’s Jewish Diva, fiercely talentless dancers, an angry Canadian writer, and impertinent audience members into a theater, ply them with booze, and pit them against each other in a contest for the title of “Most Special Person Ever?” A highbrow battle? A lyceum for lowlifes? We can’t say for sure, but the launch of this series – part salon, part reading, lots of shtick – will definitely be special.


Special guests and celebrity judges include:

MICHAEL SHOWALTER (Stella, The Baxter), JACKIE HOFFMAN (Broadway diva), ERIC DRYSDALE (The Colbert Report), ANDREA ROSEN (Variety Shac), MEREDITH SCARDINO (Late Night With David Letterman), JESSE OXFELD (Gawker), JOE GARDEN (The Onion), and VIDS (Varsity Interpretive Dance Squad).

Wednesday, April 26 at 8 p.m.

Ars Nova Theater: 511 West 54th Street, at 10th Avenue
