On being the luckiest person in the world, what's next after sliced bread and self care via gay bars.

In conversation with Evan Lazarus

This week, we’re chatting with Evan Lazarus, you may recognize them from TikTok, including their on-the-ground reporting regarding the closing of The Brooklyn Mirage, their podcast “Girls Rewatch” alongside Amelia Ritthaler, or their comedy night “Is it Gay?” at Club Cumming of which they are the host and producer.

You can see them perform next on Jan 4th at Union Hall with their improv group the duchess. The troupe consists of “three of my closest friends that I get to constantly laugh with. Am I the luckiest person in the world?”

If you miss it, be sure to check out their biweekly show at Mr Nancy’s bar in Ridgewood every second and fourth Wednesday; it’s a variety show featuring comics, musicians, and even puppeteers.

🍞 On what comes after sliced bread

I saw Oh Mary in the West Village during its dress rehearsal. And I knew it was gonna be the biggest thing since sliced bread.

🖇️ On Touching Base

My roommate hosts a karaoke party called “Please Please Please Sing” at Please Tell Me. I just started this really cool quarterly party called Touch Base, which has been so incredibly fun, also at Mr Nancy’s.

🍸 On self-care via gay bars

Friday night, I had the world’s worst FOMO because every one of my friends from every part of my life ended up at a Rose Gray themed night at The Rosemont, but I was so tired, so I considered my mental health, instead of considering having fun, and girl, that’s actually worse for your mental health

💰 On #brandlove

I love brands! Brands are amazing! I love collaborating with brands. Especially when they use their money to help me collaborate with all my projects. Thank you brands!

🍦 On all 31 flavors

Book whoever you want. That means not just the flavors of a month that are popular in comedy right now. But go after big people if you want. Book your friends. Booking people to do your show is not a game. The only game is - can we have fun?

⚡️ On buzz words

Put the word gay on anything you do.
