One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces

Now that I've had a day to recover, a HUGE thank you to everyone who came out to "An Old-Fashioned Piano Party with Leslie Goshko!" You guys were an awesome crowd and so much fun.

10 Years of Lies!

The long-running and award-winning Liar Show turns 10 years old this August! I'm so honored and excited to be on the celebratory lineup! This will absolutely sell-out, so be sure to RSVP by calling the cafe at 212-989-9319.

4 stories, 3 true, 1 lie. Interrogate the performers and find out who's lying. If you get it right you win...wait for it...a t-shirt!! :)

Hope to see you there! No lie.
