September 2026

Hey gang,

It’s a really busy month for me! I’ll hop right into show schedules:

Tomorrow, Thursday 9/10 is a two-doe-shay - the Bisque is a guest of The Good Time at BCC at 7pm! Except most of the Bisque is out, so it’ll just be me and my dear buddy, Erica Ito!

The party continues at 8pm a new season of Bar-Prov at Young Ethel’s. Every first 2 Thursdays of the month, you can watch a full evening of improv. As a reminder, it’s FREE! (yes, I'll finish one set and run to a different part of Brooklyn for my second show).

On Monday 9/14, I’m a guest doing bits at the Caveat Emmy’s Watch Party! My friend Christopher Morucci is hosting and it’s gonna be a night of the STARS starting at 7:30pm!

The Bisque will be back together for our signature show at Caveat on Tuesday 9/22 at 7pm. Tickets go to support The Brigid Alliance and if you aren’t in NYC, you can buy a livestream ticket and watch for 2 weeks after the show! So really, you have no excuse not to buy a tickie here. Early bird tickets are available until September 15th.

Then, I’m doing a play! At the Philly Fringe! Hrotsvitha Hremixes is three new adaptions of 10th Century convent dramas by Hrotsvitha of Gandershiem. If you think - sounds really boring - you’d be wrong. She basically rewrote Latin sex comedies about how horny it was to be a martyr, so it’s a very funny time. I’m really enjoying rehearsals, so if you are in the Philadelphia area on September 25, 26 and 27th, tickets are pay what you can. I’d love to see you!

Finally (speaking of two-doe-shays) on Saturday 9/26 at 4pm, I’m doing a charity show at Caveat for 826NYC - Improvising The Hero’s Journey! 826NYC teaches young people creative writing and they are a great organization. My friends at Seaweed Brain Podcast and others are hosting, and then I get on a train to do the evening show of Hrotsvitha in Philly - come on down. Live stream tickets are available for this too!

Crazy month but I’m excited for it - big hugs and hope to see you at one of these <3

One of the many shows I’m in this month!

Hi team!

I took July off from writing these updates. I left the city a few times, logged off and did my best to relax - which doesn’t come easily to my type-A ass. But I did it!

I’m back and joining a new campaign at tabletopnotch - it’s DnD meets Slow Horses/Department Q, where a group of misfit agents are attempting to solve magical cold cases. It’s only just begun (my first ep is #6) so hop on in and join the hunt to solve the case in Blood Be the Turnips! We’re live every Sunday on Twitch, and then available to stream on Youtube and wherever you get your podcasts. It’s super fun :)

Lots of shows (in NYC and elsewhere) next month, so keep an eye out. And an update about Comedian Traitors in June: I was selected as a traitor (I did not win) and brought as much feral energy as I could muster to being a villain. It was a blast and check out the fab portrait that Arin Sang-urai took that night!

Hugs,

Deirdre

Shows!

I’m doing Comedian Traitors tomorrow night at 9:30pm at Caveat - livestream tickets are available too (and you can watch up to 14 days later if that’s past your bed time). My dear friend Christopher Morucci does his best Alan Cumming as the host and this is actually my 2nd time on the show! I was the first person murdered in the first ever Comedian Traitors and I’m determined to make it to the 2nd round at least. It’s gonna be a really fun night, if you are a fan of the Peacock original or not.

Then, on Thursday the 4th and 11th, I’ll be back at Young Ethel’s for the 8pm time slot’s Bar-Prov Experiment. It’s free and fun and you should come.

Finally, Bisque’s signature show is back at Caveat on Tuesday June 23rd at 7pm. Tickets go to support The Brigid Alliance and if you aren’t in NYC, you can buy an $10 livestream ticket and watch for 2 weeks after the show! So really no excuse not to buy a tickie here. Early bird tickets are available until June 16th.

That’s all for now - see below for a photo of my first time on Comedian Traitors. I’m not wearing a hat this time - hats put a target on your back.

It would be so funny tho, to be killed first again

Hey gang,

Officer Scott: Too Much Isn’t Enough isn’t doing a July show anymore (summer in NYC folks be clearing out), so your last chance for a while to see us at Brooklyn Art Haus is May 22nd & 23rd. Tickets here and follow us on instagram - I’m sure there will be more further down the line but this is it for a bit!

Bar-Prov continues at Young Ethel’s at 8:30pm on the first 2 Thursdays of the month and as always, it’s FREE! (though I won’t be there this week 😔)

This weekend we are starting a new mini-campaign tabletopnotch! It’s a new TTRPG-system based on Brandon Sanderson’s world of Cosmere. If that means anything to you nerds - hop on in and watch us on twitch, YouTube or wherever you podcast, cuz it’s only gonna be 4 weeks! Big epic fantasy fun!

Keeping it short because things are a little busy with the day job and life. Gotta go to the gym. Hugs,
