John Hill: Silk and Loose
Joe's Pub425 Lafayette Street, New York 10003
John Hill brings his solo comedy show Silk and Loose! to Joe’s Pub. Written by Hill and reshaped as he performs it, the show is a personal, provocative piece prompted by a Twitter troll’s comment about him.
Originally from San Antonio and now based in Los Angeles, Hill is an actor, writer, singer and host. His stage credits include The Boy from Oz and the original Broadway cast of Hairspray, in which he played Fender; he has also produced Watch What Happens Live, Project Runway and Top Chef, and co-hosts SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live.
The stage is set in a converted library space with a striped bar and photos of legends like Leonard Cohen and Amy Winehouse lining the walls. You'll find yourself seated on velvet couches or at candle-lit tables, close enough to hear every note from the back. The sound, engineered by technicians who've worked with John Legend and The Notorious B.I.G., is consistently ranked among the best in New York. Three shows a day, dinner and drinks served throughout, and a menu ranging from Italian small plates to craft cocktails; it's a place where music and conversation flow together, and where both rising stars and legends have made their U.S. debuts.
