Seriously Entertaining

House of SpeakEasy’s flagship program is an acclaimed series of literary cabarets called Seriously Entertaining 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, first at City Winery in Manhattan, then at Joe’s Pub with our new partners at The Public Theater, and, more recently, online via livestream with Crowdcast to reach national and international audiences. The Wall Street Journal calls the show, “Think-y entertainment for New York’s book-loving crowd.”
