Small Fruits – Queer Comedy
I am a strong believer in a cute little night out, and this, dear reader, fits the bill. Hosted by “dynamic duo” No Sex and the City, whose lackluster love lives must give them a lot of time to practice their improv skills, Small Fruits invites attendees who are “navigating perpetual singlehood or basking in newfound love.” It promises to be fun, gay, and “leave you smitten,” which seems ideal. Plus, Small Fruits features a roster of local, “delightfully humble queer improvisers.” Humility isn’t a trait I typically look for in comedians, but sure, why not? LINDSAY COSTELLO
