Chris Cafero's Solo Comedy Show TAKING MY LUMPS to be Presented at Upright Citizens Brigade Theater

When actor and comedian Chris Cafero discovered a mass growing in a... private area, it was no laughing matter. Until now! Chris will be turning his pain into audiences' pleasure in his brand new solo show TAKING MY LUMPS, premiering on Thursday, November 14th at 10:00PM as part of the New York Comedy Festival. The show will be directed by Stephen Guarino at the newly-reopened Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in New York City. Written and performed by Cafero, Taking My Lumps combines his skills as a stand-up, story-teller and sketch-performer to find the humor in all of the bumps and bruises he's taken along the way. This marks the solo show debut for Cafero, who was recently named one of the Just For Laughs New Faces of Comedy in 2023.

Tickets start at $10, and can be purchased here:
