Jes Tom Will Bring LESS LONELY to Greenwich House Theater, Presented by Elliot Page

Academy Award-nominated actor, director, producer, and writer Elliot Page, along with award-winning producers Mike & Carlee Productions, have announced a special engagement of Jes Tom's Less Lonely, a one-person comedy about sex in the face of death, gender transition on the brink of oblivion, and the search for love at the end of the world.

This strictly limited six-week engagement begins previews on Wednesday, November 28, at the Greenwich House Theater (27 Barrow Street), ahead of a December 11 opening night. Tickets, beginning at $39, are available now at JesTomShow.com. A limited number of rush tickets are available for $30 exclusively through TodayTix on the day of the show.

“Less Lonely is a triumph. I laughed until I hurt, and I resonated with Jes's insights on sex, gender, grief, and more. Go to the show to cackle, to be moved, and to revel in the brilliance of Jes Tom,” said Page.

Less Lonely comes to the Greenwich House Theater after playing a sold out engagement at the Cherry Lane Theatre, as well as shows across North America. Less Lonely is directed Off-Broadway by Em Weinstein, presented by Elliot Page and produced by Mike Lavoie & Carlee Briglia. 

The performance schedule is as follows: Monday - Friday at 7pm and Saturdays at 5:30pm and 8pm. There will be no show on December 25 or January 1. There will be an added performance on Sunday, December 31 at 5:30pm. For more information, please check the website: JesTomShow.com
