Stand-upLate showBasement room

Union Hall's basement is one of Brooklyn's classic alt-comedy rooms, all bookshelves upstairs and a low-ceilinged stage below, and a late headliner show there feels like a secret. Hoodo Hersi's Extraordinary Alien is her own billed show rather than a showcase spot. If you are out in Park Slope late and want one more laugh before bed, head downstairs.

What to expect

A roughly 90-minute late show on Union Hall's downstairs stage, with Hersi headlining her own billed hour rather than a short showcase spot. The bar upstairs, with its indoor bocce courts and library-style decor, is open before and after, so it is easy to arrive early and settle in.

Good to know

  • The stage is in the basement below the bar.
  • R to Union St, a short walk up Union Street.
  • Upstairs has indoor bocce, worth arriving early for.
  • Tickets are sold through the venue's Eventbrite page.

Going? Keep it.
