To celebrate five years of his solutions-based nonprofit magazine Reasons to Be Cheerful, David Byrne will be hosting a night of music, comedy, and “unhinged on-stage antics and joyous communal experiences.” The one-night-only “Amazing Humans Doing Amazing Things!” event will take place on October 8 at Town Hall NYC, and will notably feature Fred Armisen and Thao among its list of performers, with Byrne emceeing the evening.
“Variety shows were a big deal when I was young,” Byrne explained in a press statement. “It’s a format you don’t see as much of these days. So we thought, why not bring it back? We looked for acts that could capture that sense of zany, anything-could-happen artistry. Reasons to be Cheerful inspires people by unearthing unexpected gems, and this show will embody that same spirit of gleeful surprise.”
Tickets for the event are on sale now, and can be purchased here. Find more info on the poster below, and revisit our cover story on Byrne in which he detailed Reasons to Be Cheerful here.
