After her SOLD OUT winter residency, Michelle Hoffman (better known as "Shells"), the famed JPMorgan Chase analyst-cum-cabaret sensation, returns to Joe's Pub for a limited spring engagement on May 26th. Shells is ready to shed her 9-to-5 facade and prove she has what it takes to become an international pop sensation. During these rough financial times, she is certain that she has what it takes to become the next "insta-star," connecting with her audience in an authentic way and rising to her stardom. Performing elaborate, original numbers ranging in style from Lady Gaga to Radiohead, and incorporating covers written by her "celebrity friends," this Carrie Bradshaw wannabe challenges the audience with her bold style. When matters of her personal life are brought up, the show takes an unexpected turn. Armed with a glass of Shiraz and a penchant for drunk-dialing, SHELLS leaves audience members laughing deliriously, saying: "I know her," or worse, "I am her!"

About Nick Chase and Roslyn Hart:
Nick Chase and Roslyn Hart are a writing/performing duo whose friendship dates back to the 7th grade. Their episodic theatrical series, SHELLS, leaves audiences anticipating the next chapter of Michelle "Shells" Hoffman's life and keeps them coming back for more; much like a cult following. The show plays to sold-out audiences at Joe's Pub and other NYC venues. Prior to the SHELLS saga, this duo had a SOLD OUT residency at Mo Pitkin's with their vaudeville performance, Bros Before Hos. They have also performed at Upright Citizen's Brigade, Fez, The Iridium, Galapagos, and StandUp NY.
