FEINSTEIN'S/54 BELOW, Broadway's Supper Club, presents Billy Anderson in #RIPSEYRESISTS on July 21, 2018. Having conquered his Election Night PTSD in his hit show #IMWITHRIPSEY, nightlife fixture Billy Anderson returns to Feinstein's/54 Below with the original Jewish Japanese pop musician Danny Katz for #RIPSEYRESISTS. The dynamic duo pick up right where they left off to continue Ripsey's own personal handmaid's tale with fresh arrangements of pop classics along with songs you've likely never heard before! Featuring guest stars Andrew Boeckmann, Justin Cook, Miranda Wilson, and a special appearance by John C. Hume, this cabaret (that thinks it's a rock concert that thinks it's a Broadway musical) is sure to inspire your own resistance, along with many, many laughs.
Billy Anderson has created, conceived, written, directed and performed eleven prior solo cabaret shows, with performances in various venues from January 2003 to May 2017. Danny Katz has musical directed nine of Anderson's solo shows, and is himself a singer/songwriter with seven studio albums, his most recent entitled "Orbiting." Katz injects his own Jewish/Japanese pop spin on his songs, and recently was touring in Tokyo. John C. Hume headlined his own show at 54 Below in April 2015, where Andrew Boeckmann also performed. Justin Cook made his New York stage debut in March 2017. Miranda Wilson has performed in numerous shows throughout New York City.

In addition to growing up performing in various local musical productions in New England, Billy Anderson has created, conceived, written, directed and performed eleven prior solo cabaret shows in New York City.

They have also written numerous songs to pepper into their various shows. Last year's show, #IMWITHRIPSEY was the pairing's first performance together since 2010.
