AFTERS is a weekly uncensored stand-up show featuring New York City’s best comics doing their most off-kilter, dark, filthy, and gloriously unhinged material.

Hosted by Maddy Smith (Wild N' Out, JFL) & Zahid Dewji (Tonight Show, Don't Tell Comedy) and featuring Jake Lemonade (OFTV). Every Wednesday at 9:15 PM at Brooklyn Improv LAB.  AFTERS. Wednesday nights just got a lot more interesting.
