Lucie Pohl's Immigrant Jam gathers comics who grew up between languages and passports and turns that into a fast, cross-cultural stand-up lineup. It is one of the more distinctive recurring showcases in town, with a host who keeps the room loose and political without lecturing. If you want a Friday lineup with more range than a standard club bill, try it.
What to expect
A hosted stand-up showcase with several short sets in Caveat's cozy bar-theatre on Clinton Street, where drinks are served through the show. Pohl sets the tone between comics, and the material leans on family, accents, culture clashes and the immigration news cycle.
