FRIGID Nightcap July 31st: FUTURE TENSE is a late-night variety show about the culture war over what comes next. Through comedy, drag, burlesque, music, theatre, performance art, and whatever else refuses to behave, FUTURE TENSE asks what happens when we stop worshipping the past and start fighting for a future that is collective, liberated, unruly, and actually worth living in.

Psychic medium and stand up comedian Nelly Reznik will be performing Comediumship, an experimental combination of stand up comedy and audience readings. Readings may consist of connecting with loved ones who have passed, and receiving life guidance for audience members, all in a lighthearted way.
