The Junket at Lynn Redgrave Theater

Described as "a cross between Sandra Bernhard and David Sedaris" by Entertainment Weekly, writer-comedian Mike Albo has built a career skewering our culture of celebrity and consumerism. His latest solo show, The Junket, investigates the troubled state of modern journalism by way of a press junket gone horribly wrong. Assigned a freelance column he thinks will make his career, Albo instead becomes the latest gossip item gleefully savaged by New York's snarkiest blog. The result is a journalist's hilarious yet thoughtful reflection on professional ethics, artistic integrity and even love in an era of morally bankrupt news-gathering.
