Mindy Raf's A (very) Nervous System is a comedy hour about neurodivergence, queer relationships and what counts as normal, with a streak of magical realism; earlier runs earned a Time Out New York LGBT Best Bet and strong Edinburgh reviews. A special taping means the audience is part of the finished film, and the energy in the room matters. If you like writerly stand-up with a clear point of view, this is a chance to be in on something before it goes out into the world.
What to expect
Littlefield is a mid-size performance space on Sackett Street with a proper stage and a separate bar. As at any taping, expect cameras in the room and a crowd asked to bring full energy. Shawn Hollenbach and Quin Lamar open ahead of Raf's hour.
