CITIZENS OF THE PLANET OF KEPLAR:
By now you know. We are not alone in the universe. Our probes have recently made contact with an exoplanet whose people call it...EARTH. It seems they mean no harm. They only wish to send musical sketch comedy group "Pop Roulette" here, to our planet, as a means of educating and informing us of their world, their culture, and their "American habits". Apparently this group does music AND comedy. We'll see. Come see and hear what's so amazing about AMAZING EARTH!

Anna Roisman:
Jewish American Prodigy
Joe’s Pub
Director: 2023
Anna Roisman may not be a nepo-baby (yet), but she is a Jewish American Prodigy. From growing up in the suburbs of Philadelphia, she knew her purpose was to create art and share it with audiences. So at the early age of eight years old, she wrote an iconic pornographic novel* that deemed her a prodigy. Now, she goes out in public in wigs on a weekly basis. Real grown-up stuff. Through story-based standup, music, and her viral celebrity impressions, Anna brings you a night of laughs that you’ll never forget. Because if you do, Joan Rivers will come to haunt you in your dreams. Featuring: Hilaria Baldwin, Kris Jenner, Steve from Sex And The City, Julia Fox, and more surprises.
