Rhoda is bringing the sketchy fun to the LES with our brand-new show at Parkside Lounge (317 E. Houston) at 7:30 TONIGHT! We’re hoping to make this a monthly shindig, so come on out and support us so we can stay out of Midtown (and away from $10 beers) forever. We’ll be sharing the stage with intensely funny musical improv group Veal. The best part? No cover! There is a two drink minimum, but drinks are well-priced.

As always, Rhoda is written and performed by Leila Cohan, Halina Newberry Grant, Jocelyn Guest, and Abigail Murphy, and directed by Julie Klausner. Email rhodacomedy at gmail dot com to reserve a ticket.

Thank you so much to everyone who came out to Rhoda's show at UCB last night!

Don’t miss the premiere of Rhoda’s new show “You’re Welcome” at UCB at 8pm TONIGHT! It’s going to be a truly awesome half hour of comedy, followed by another thirty minutes of hilarity from BriTANick, all for a mere $5! Word on the street is that seats are filling up fast, so make your reservations here!

Drinking to follow, obvs.

Come out and support Rhoda at our first full-length show at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre/audition for future shows at UCB!

“You’re Welcome” is thirty minutes of everything from partying butlers to Christian rappers, all presented for your viewing entertainment and hilarity. Tickets are a mere $5 (which also gets you an awesome half hour show from the very funny BriTANick) and drinks are sososo cheap, you guys. Yeah, it’s the day after many of you get back from break, but really, doesn’t that just mean you need laughter and cheap beer even more than usual? Yes. Yes, it does.

Added bonus: no less than two couples have met at Rhoda shows. RHODA: We’ll Get You Laid.
