Don't Quit Your Night Job began in 2006 as a one-off benefit, which grew into ten sellout months. That was followed by a commercial production off-Broadway in 2007 and then a long run at the Zipper Factory, playing to oversold houses monthly, through the venue's closing in early 2009. It then played at the Julia Miles Theatre and Le Poisson Rouge before landing at its current venue, 54 Below, in 2013. Over the years, Don't Quit Your Night Job has welcomed an astounding array of entertainers: Huey Lewis, Hank Azaria, Julianna Margulies, Michael McKean, Marc Shaiman, Alicia Witt, Anthony Rapp, Sara Ramirez, George Wendt, Bebe Neuwirth, David Hyde Pierce, Julie White,Patrick Wilson, Andrea Martin, Marc Summers, Kelli O'Hara and Mo Rocca are just a few of the many guests who have appeared on the show.
