The Stand's rotation puts Rocky Dale Davis on a shared Saturday bill and then hands him the entire main room for two solo shows the next day, which is a meaningful difference: a club spot is a highlight reel, a solo booking is an argument. Two sets means you can pick the early one and still have your evening, or the later one and make a night of it. If you saw him for eight minutes on somebody else's showcase and wanted more, this is the booking.
What to expect
One comic, one room, table seating and kitchen service running throughout the set. Two separate performances are scheduled, so the earlier show tends to draw a dinner crowd and the later one a looser bar crowd. The main room is dark and low-ceilinged, which flatters a solo hour far more than a big proscenium would.
Good to know
- The Stand is on East 16th Street at Union Square — the L, N, Q, R, W, 4, 5 and 6 all stop there
- Two separate solo performances are scheduled; each is a full ticketed show, not two halves of one
- This runs in the downstairs main room rather than the Upstairs space or the patio
- Dinner service continues through the show, so you can eat at your table
- He also turns up on The Stand's multi-comic main-room bill earlier in the weekend if you prefer a showcase
