In celebration of New York opening up again, Dave Konig, with Elliot Finkel, is bringing a monthly live show, Welcome Back New York, to Don’t Tell Mama beginning on Sunday, August 29 at 6:00 PM. After a long year of quiet stages, the duo decided to bring their intimate show to the historic cabaret theatre to give audiences a chance to celebrate life, comedy and returning to NYC! Konig, a three-time Emmy-winning comedian, promises an evening of great comedy, with a side of great music.
Prior to the shutdown, Konig was appearing on TV and touring nationally, and Elliot Finkel had just finished the Grand Hotel concert with John Schneider, directed by Tony-nominee Walter Willison.
Konig has guest starred on “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” “Louie” and “Crashing,” among many others. On Broadway he played the fast-talking deejay Vince Fontaine in the Tommy Tune revival of Grease. He wrote and performed the Off-Broadway solo shows, Addicted to Show Business and Hebrew School Dropout, which the New York Times called “lightning fast, charming, insightful, and very, very funny”. In the fall, his new stand up special will be released by Drybar Comedy.
Finkel has appeared at Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, the Hollywood Bowl and White House, as well as with many orchestras. With his brother Ian, Finkel co-starred on Broadway with Michael Feinstein, Sid Caesar, and their beloved father, Emmy Award-winner Fyvush Finkel. He has toured with such diverse artists as Ginger Rogers, Milton Berle, Theodore Bikel, Roberta Peters and Jan Peerce. His shows The Finkel Follies and Fyvush Finkel Live both received Drama Desk nominations.
There is a $20 cover/2-drink minimum—cash only. Please make reservations at 212-757-0788 or click here.
