Natalie Joy Johnson, Molly Pope and Brian Nash are finally coming through on their threat to undertake their very own CABARET FILIBUSTER. The first of this soon-to-be legendary cabaret events will take place upstairs in The Duplex Cabaret Room - on Saturday, August 27th, 2016 at 11:30pm.

Natalie, Molly and Brian have been staples of the cabaret scene for years - and have performed on many of the same bills together. But never before has it been just the three of them headlining the evening. What began as a joke while performing together among the cresting waves of the Pacific Ocean in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - now finally comes to fruition. These three gifted musicians and storytellers, each blessed with the gift of gab, come together in front of an audience to see, "No! Really! HOW LONG can we keep going?" Join them on August 27th to find out.

Tickets are $10 when reserved online or $15 at the door & there is a two drink minimum. The Duplex is located at 61 Christopher Street on the corner of 7th Avenue in New York's West Village. Reservations are available at www.purplepass.com/filibuster.
