Fresh off his critically acclaimed performances at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, comedian and storyteller Gabe Mollica is set to make his off-Broadway debut with Solo: A Show About Friendship, running for 8 nights at the storied Soho Playhouse. Chris Gethard will appear as a special guest on opening night, November 2nd, and the show will run from November 2nd-5th and then November 9th-12th – all performances are at 9pm.
Solo begins with a declaration: “I turned 30 and it occurred to me that I don’t have any friends.” Over the next 60 minutes, Gabe attempts to explain why, analyzing the “30-year old bros” in his life, high-school relationships, his first drunken attempt at stand-up, summers at a camp for children with chronic illnesses, and many more stories of young love, friendship, heartbreak, and Taco Bell.
Solo is produced by Caitlin Cook, Ophira Eisenberg serves as Creative Consultant, and Greg Walloch is story producer.
