- Welcome to “In Rhythm", a comedy show where all the comedians are definitely funny but can also dance on beat! Will we be dancing for you at the show? No, but we hope you find comfort in knowing that if we wanted to, we could, and it would be really great! The "In Rhythm" comedy show highlights the best comedians of color New York City has to offer. From Netflix, HBO, Comedy Central & more, these comedians will have you doubling over, shoulder shaking, and haha-ing (or jaja-ing if you're bilingual) all night long. Whether you can dance or not, everybody can laugh, In Rhythm. (See what we did there?) See you at the show!FeaturingAminah ImaniMohtasham YaqubAlfonso HernandezSamantha Santos
