“A literary mixtape [with] perfect flow and variety.”
— The New York Times, March 2016
House of SpeakEasy’s flagship program, “Seriously Entertaining,” is an acclaimed series of literary cabarets where authors take the stage to riff and ruminate informally, dinner-theater-style, on the evening’s theme. Since our debut show in 2014, House of SpeakEasy has been proud to feature a diverse range of authors and performers, from Pulitzer Prize–winning journalists to acclaimed novelists and poets, as well as comedians, musicians, and emerging writers.
We look forward to returning to our home at Joe’s Pub with our partners at The Public Theater later this year. Until then, you can watch livestreamed versions of the show via Crowdcast and Facebook Live.
