Q.E.D. is a woman-owned independent arts space on 23rd Avenue that Time Out readers voted New York's best comedy venue, and QED Presents is its prime-time house showcase. This Friday lineup mixes Mindy Raf, Bangladesh's Naveed Mahbub, Sue Funke, Freddy G and Lauren Hope Krass. If you live in Queens or want a neighborhood show with no Manhattan markup, it's an easy yes.
What to expect
Five comics do showcase-length sets in a small, friendly storefront room with a bar. Expect a local crowd and a relaxed, community feel.
