Queens is the most linguistically diverse place on earth, and Queens Get The Funny builds a whole showcase around that: immigrant families, culture clashes and the stories of the world told in the world's borough. Host Omar Zinda brings in comics from Queens and beyond to a neighborhood arts space in Astoria. If you want stand-up that sounds like the 7 train, this is a Sunday worth the trip.
What to expect
A handful of stand-up sets in Q.E.D.'s intimate back room, with a host tying things together and a crowd full of locals. The front bar is open before and after.
