Featuring a backing band of basement rockstars, High Notes is a show that brings together a revolving roster of stand up comedians, cabaret performers and musicians to belt out numbers on the meaning of life, love, and how kombucha tastes like salad dressing (which is why it's perfect!). If you’re looking for a night of live music, jokes jokes jokes, and moody acoustic ruminations on how selfish it is of your therapist to go on maternity leave then High Notes is the show for you! Hosted by Tessa Skara & the High Notes Band Featuring Rebecca O'Neal, Ana Fabrega, Friends Who Folk, Nika Z, and Karolena Theresa. Friday, April 19. 8pm.  PLAYxPLAY: NAZARETH HASSAN
