Seriously Entertaining, New York’s premier literary cabaret series
showcasing writers and their passions, is an intellectual
roller-coaster of a show. The Wall Street Journal calls it “Think-y
entertainment for New York’s book-loving crowd,” The New York
Times says it’s “a literary mixtape [with] perfect flow and
variety,” and CBS Local News adds: “You have never seen a cabaret
quite like this…. The lineup includes some of the most brilliant
minds in the literary and artistic worlds.” Seriously Entertaining
packs a big punch, regularly hosting talent such as Eve Ensler, Margo
Jefferson, John Guare, Jason Reynolds, PJ O'Rourke, Loudon Wainwright
III, Steven Pinker, Kevin Young, and Damian Barr. The show asks each
writer to riff on a given theme for ten minutes only. Whether the
result leaves you howling with laughter or sorrow, it will be an
evening you’re sure to remember. Seriously Entertaining is the
flagship show of House of SpeakEasy, a not-for-profit arts
organization dedicated to connecting writers and audiences in
innovative and sustaining ways – in classrooms through our
SpeakTogether writing workshops, in the community with our book truck,
and at Joe’s Pub.
