Therapy Gecko built a following by sitting in a lizard suit and asking strangers the questions nobody else asks, and this Bell House date is a live taping of that premise in front of a room. The Bell House is a converted Gowanus warehouse with a raised stage, so the crowd sees every interaction. If you follow the show online and have wondered how the bit lands in a room full of people, this is the taping to be in.
What to expect
A warehouse room with a long bar in front and a raised stage at the back, filling up well before the set. Because it is a taping, audience members may be pulled into the conversation and cameras cover the room. Expect long unscripted exchanges rather than a tight joke-per-minute club set.
Good to know
- F/G/R to 4 Av-9 St, then a short walk down Seventh Street in Gowanus.
- This is a recorded taping, so you may appear on camera.
- General admission; the standing area in front of the stage fills first.
- The front bar is open through the show if you want a drink in hand.
- Best suited to people already familiar with the online show.
- Late start makes it an easy add-on after dinner nearby.
