Why'd We Book It?

Sydnee was one of the first comedians we ever booked, and she delivered 2 absoutely hilarious shows almost 2 years ago that displayed her uncanny ability to straddle alt comic sensibilites and long form storytelling with the joke economy and punchline prowess of a road tested club comedian - the only surprise about her returning is that it took so long. She is coming off an absolutely hilarious Late Night performance, and a role in the wonderful Julio Torres HBO Series Fantasmas. She's probably your one of your favorite comedian's favorite comedian - combining a razor sharp observational style with a quick wit from a quintessentially modern perspective.
