"Exodus: An Unhinged Character Cabaret" at 54 Below

Join Iris Bahr ’98 and her Alter-Egos

After years honing her stable of beloved characters and alter-egos, Iris Bahr (“Curb Your Enthusiasm,” “Hacks,” DAI) is bringing them all together for one night of comedy, song and crowd work.

Your party’s name will be provided to the maître d' at 54Below who will take you to your seats. It’s cabaret seating, which means that you may be sharing a table with other guests though they will endeavor to keep our group together.

Come join Rae Lynn, Svetlana, Shuli, Fiona and Shosh as Iris makes her 54 Below debut in EXODUS: AN UNHINGED CHARACTER CABARET. Embodying five different personas, Bahr takes us on a musical storytelling journey of breaking free from what holds you back, accompanied by the award-winning pianist and musical director Andrew Hertz.
