Happy Hour w/ Sweet Manhattan

Happy Hour with Sweet Manhattan  at Savage Wonder!

Where the martinis are dry, the gossip is wet, and the laughs are on the house.

Welcome to the world of Sweet Manhattan, a sassy improv trio with sharp wit and style, and their neighbor, Kitten Solloway, a critically overlooked (and clinically underdiagnosed) Hollywood starlet with a golden voice and quick humor. Expect hilarious improvisation, surprise guest appearances, musical mischief, and plenty of glitz and gossip in this night of laughs and libations.

Featuring,

Annie-Sage Whitehurst, Jaime Fallon, Joy Masters, & Christine Pinero 

A cabaret of chaos where we spill the tea, but never the booze!
