Comedy Meets Clarity at Neurotic Fest: Two Bold Voices, One Unforgettable Night In Unapologetically Rocky, comedian, educator, and professional bad-decision maker Rahkie "Rocky" Mateen takes the stage with her signature mix of sharp wit and raw honesty. At 50—and fully in her “IDGAF” era—Rocky dives into love, lust, teaching fails, and midlife mayhem. It’s a side-splitting, no-holds-barred journey through life’s messiest moments, told with zero apologies and maximum laughs. Balancing the bill is Clear Cane Chronicles, where person-centered care speaker and facilitator Cynthia Overton wields her clear cane to guide audiences through medical mysteries, the healthcare system, and the realities of life today. The show offers a first look at themes from her forthcoming book, blending sharp comedy with personal insight. Cynthia turns setbacks into setups for laughter, proving that even when her body has a mind of its own, her punchlines always land. This unique double feature showcases two women who turn personal chaos into collective catharsis. Whether it’s Rocky embracing the messy magic of midlife or Cynthia teasing the stories and lessons from her upcoming book, both performers invite audiences to laugh, reflect, and maybe even recognize a bit of themselves in the stories told.

This comedy solo show tells the story of two manic episodes, both of which lasted 3 months each and both resulting in husbands. Stand up comic and sketch writer Roya Hamadani will take you on her bizarre journey from being diagnosed with bipolar disorder at 33, transforming into Manic Roya, diligently questing for peen, and eventually finding her happy ending, mostly. Sometimes shocking, a little heart-breaking, and always entertaining, this is a unique story of how a few months in a completely altered state of mind can make all the difference in where and how and with whom you end up. Also, a nerd goes dick hunting.

The Pickle is a deeply personal, semi-autobiographical drama about the harrowing dangers of addiction and effects on family. Set one year after the devastating loss of her cousin Cody, The Pickle follows Nellie, a video editor in her mid-twenties, as she grapples with grief and the memories of their relationship. Cody, who died at 18 from a drug overdose, frequently visits Nellie as a spirit—his presence equal parts comforting and haunting. Nellie often pushes Cody away when he uses drugs around her, unable to confront the pain of his choices. But this time, Cody forces her to witness his struggle, reliving the moments that defined their bond and the tragedy of his illness. The film explores the complexities of grief, the enduring nature of love, and the unshakable imprint left by addiction.

Sofia drinks chai with her Pakistani family in Chicago; Becca has Shabbat dinners with her Jewish family in Baltimore. These two GenX comedians and storytellers come from different backgrounds, but their stories share universal themes. Join us for an evening of hilarious adventures in growing up, fitting in, and grappling with who we really are. iPhones still might be 30 years in the future, but growing up in early 90s Chicago still meant plenty of screen time. Sofia Javed’s new comedy show is about being a child of hard-working immigrant parents, a student of teachers who don’t understand her culture, and a devotee of television sitcoms… that provide her real education. In a lot of ways, Becca Rothman is like her family. And in a lot of other ways, not so much. Whenever she is “too much” (which is often) they call out “RebeccAgenda!!!” as a kind of shorthand for how she moves through the world: always with some sort of scheme, always a messy tornado, and always, always in motion. At what point do we begin to realize that some things we get from our families, and some things are just who we are? Join Becca on a spellbinding journey about growing up, a surprise gift that changed the way she sees the world, and the mysteries that we discover - and sometimes solve - along the way.

On Cats and Dogs and Other Family Revelations wraps big ideas in focused stories about Ella’s pets, offering glimpses of her human family and life in her place of birth, Transylvania, Romania. With her dark humor and heart, Ella takes audiences from her childhood under communist rule, to her present quirky experiences in East Harlem, using her dog and cat as reference points. Content Warning: This show contains dark humor, discussions about death, and rape. This show is not recommended for children. The cast will feature Ella Veres and her companion dog, Pandele, who said she's in it not for fame, but to pay her vet bills. Rosamunda, her cat, was asked to perform but declined. She’d rather lounge under the sofa than be in the limelight. “Being from Transylvania, is expected of me to be creepy, so I oblige, from time to time, albeit not in Hollywood style,” said Ella Veres, lead performer and director of On Cats and Dogs and Other Family Revelations. “The war in Ukraine riled my memories up, and urged me to point out how much there is to lose.” The performance will run approximately one hour. Each show is a different iteration. Ella Veres is an independent performer and writer who has been active in the New York City cultural community since 2001. Her work has been presented at the Immigrant Theater Festival, Galapagos Art Space, Manhattan Theater Source, IWAS,The Field, Theater for the New City, The Moth, Stage Left, Bowery Poetry Club, Chashama, and her present incubator, Fountain House Gallery. For several years she focused on her visual art, but in 2022, serendipity made her act in Stories From My Mother at the Theater for the New City, and thus reminded her how lovely it is to be in front of a live audience. Her current solo storytelling show, On Cats and Dogs and Other Family Revelations, was shaped during her 2023 Fountain House Gallery summer residency on Governors Island and in Adam Wade’s Magnet Theater Solo Workshop, and premiered successfully at the 2024 NYC Fringe Festival.

Stay tuned for performance updates! Presented by Milk and Henny Productions. Join us for a special night where reality blurs and performance takes the spotlight. The Late Late Late Late Show begins as a live taping of a fictional late-night talk show with special musical guests: ‘Detranslate.’ The cameras roll, the host smiles, and the band takes the stage as tonight’s featured guests for an exclusive interview with celebrity host Quinn Valentine. But this is no ordinary taping. As the pleasant back and forth of the interview dissolves and things begin to go awry, the band drops the act and dons a new persona. Is it scripted? Is it improvised? Where did these people come from? One part media circus, one part sonic revelation, this is a night of performance that unspools the spectacle from the inside. Come for the show within the show. Stay for the music that tears through it and come back on the 10th for even more stylistic tunes from Mark Perro, Joseph Brock, and Bree and the Reeds.
