JUST ANNOUNCED: Race: The Movie: The Play is a wildly irreverent, razor-sharp screwball satire of prestige Hollywood race dramas. No white savior is spared in this fast-paced comedy that gleefully skewers every tone-deaf Oscar-bait trope audiences know all too well.

The story follows the brilliant Black musician Gene Yus on a concert tour through the Deep South of the 1850s escorted by Wyatt Saveyer, a rough-around-the-edges white chauffeur. But what begins as a familiar awards-season drama quickly spirals into complete comic chaos, exploding into a slapstick parody.

Winner of the New York Theater Festival’s awards for Best Script and Best Actor, Race: The Movie: The Play played an extended, sold-out run at Soho Playhouse — all with a marketing budget of exactly $0.

Playing at Asylum NYC June 17th - July 12th

🚨 IMPORTANT UPDATE: A Magical Twist Tonight at The Naked Magicians ‼️

Well folks, we’ve got a bit of unexpected news—and no, this isn't part of the act. One of our performers from The Naked Magicians has suffered an injury and unfortunately cannot perform tonight. (Don’t worry, none of the important bits were harmed. 😉 Everyone's wand is still fully operational.)

While we can’t proceed with tonight’s regularly scheduled performance, we’re thrilled to announce that Christopher Wayne, one of the original Naked Magicians, will be stepping in to perform his award-winning solo show Christopher Wayne Live! - promising magic and non-stop naughty laughs, tonight only.

Same time, same place—still plenty of jaw-dropping magic, cheeky laughs, and just the right amount of mischief. If you’ve got a ticket for tonight’s Naked Magicians performance, it will be honored for this special one-night-only experience.

Thank you for understanding that sometimes even magicians can’t make injuries disappear. We promise the magic—and the fun—will still be fully exposed.
