Joe's Pub Adds Two More Dates For Mike Daisey's THE TRUMP CARD

After a successful engagement at Washington D.C.'s Woolly Mammoth Theatre last week, Joe's Pub has announced two more dates for when Mike Daisey's newest theatre monologue, THE TRUMP CARD returns to New York this month.

The originally announced August 28th, 6:30pm performance will be preceded by shows on August 14th at 6:30pm and August 16th at 9:30pm. Daisey has performed THE TRUMP CARD twice previously at Joe's Pub this summer.

As described on the Joe's Pub website, "Mike Daisey takes on the reigning world heavyweight of self-mythologizing, the short-fingered vulgarian who captured a nation's heart through bullying, charm, one-syllable explosions, and occasionally telling the brutal truth: Donald J. Trump. Daisey tells Trump's story from his earliest days, tracking him as he makes himself into a new American archetype-the very first rich man famous exclusively for being rich. Instead of dismissing Trump as a simple con artist and huckster, Daisey breaks down what makes Trump tick-and in doing so illuminates the state of our American Dream and how we've sold it out."
