BAGWORK is the kind of small-room showcase where New York's working comics test their sharpest new material, hosted by Ontonio Kareem. The listed bill of Andre Thompson, Ryan Roman, Amber Singletary and Grace Johnson keeps the energy varied, and the ticket costs less than a cocktail. If you want an easy, cheap Sunday laugh in Park Slope, it fits.
What to expect
A hosted showcase of short stand-up sets in Union Hall's basement theatre, running about 90 minutes, with Kareem introducing each comic on the bill. The upstairs bar, with its library-style decor and indoor bocce, is open for drinks before and after the show.
