Broadway World Award Winner and "Master Improviser" Jason Kravits returns to Birdland Theater for another jaw-dropping evening of completely improvised music and comedy that you have to see to believe. Over the course of an exhilarating 75 minutes, Kravits keeps you on the edge of your seat by using audience suggestions pulled from a fishbowl to create an entire life story in song, with every bit of it - including every lyric and melody - made up on the spot! Backed by the most fearless band in the business, OFF the TOP! is music, comedy, improv, cabaret, and magic, all stirred together and into one intoxicating cocktail of fun! It's the show of a lifetime... every time. Previous guest stars include Norm Lewis, Richard Kind, James Monroe Iglehart, Dan Finnerty, Christina Bianco, Nicole Parker and Nellie McKay.

Jason is the creator of the acclaimed web series Lords of the Playground, the parody musical, Harrison!, and the holiday stories The Kvetch and A Christmoose Story.
