NEW TIME: 6:30 pm

In association with The New York Comedy Festival 

Dubbed “sneak attack feminism” by the Wall Street Journal, Comedy Central’s Broad City, from executive producer Amy Poehler, paints a hilariously frank portrait of two hapless yet determined young women making their way in New York City.  Broad City’s Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson struggle to find good sex, cheap marijuana, and the smallest modicum of dignity in a harsh urban landscape that is alienating and Kafkaesque, woozily surreal, or punishingly quotidian, depending on the day. Entertainment Weekly called the show “deeply weird, weirdly sweet, and completely hilarious.”
