Culture of Bathing Variety Show & Bathe-Around
A show about the variety in bathing culture but not quite a variety show. We will bring bathing to life with performances, short talks, and edifying conversations.
What even is bathing? Why is bathing booming right now? Does Infrared sauna actually suck? Are you a sauna bro or a sauna hottie!
You will find no answers in our 90 minutes, but you will find more questions hidden in an Esther Williams dance number. Join us and insanely funny host, Negin Farsad, for a night of warm bathing in the middle of NYC winter. And because Bathing is about IRL over digital, the bookstore Head Hi will be onsite selling books by the speakers.
Tickets! $10 - just the show OR $25 for the show and admission to a local bathhouse
Bathhouse Bathe-Around 8:30-10:00pm
After the show, keep the night going and join us to actually experience modern social bathing at Elhani, Othership and Russian + Turkish Baths. This is a chance to visit some of the newest and oldest and hottest bathhouses in NYC. If those are sold out, purchase a pass for the next day to: World Spa, Bathhouse and SoJo.
Featuring short talks, wild performances, funny jokes and good conversations (nothing will be more than 10min, I promise!) from:
Host: Negin Farsad - Social Justice Comedian; Actor, Writer, Director and Filmmaker, WaitWait…Don’t Tell Me! Guest, Guest host + Panelist
