Dave Piontkowski
After a successful run at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Dave Piontkowski is bringing his groundbreaking comedy show 3 Kidneys No Colon to Caveat on October 3rd at 7pm.

Piontkowski is an NYC based stand-up comedian who performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2024 with 3 Kidneys No Colon and has performed at various clubs in and around New York, including The Stand, New York Comedy Club, Comedy Village, QED and many more. He also performed improv and sketch comedy with UCB, Magnet and The PIT. Piontkowski won the UC comedy competition, appeared on the Close The Door Behind You podcast, and will be debuting on the Story Collider podcast this December!

3 Kidneys No Colon is a show detailing the medical diaries (or rather…diarrheas) of Dave, who suffers from chronic kidney disease and ulcerative colitis. The show itself is a humorous look at life dealing with major illnesses and surgeries.

In his one-man show, Dave breaks down barriers of chronic health conditions and sheds light on the day-to-day for people with autoimmune diseases through jokes, storytelling, and a dash of humanity.


He infuses humor into the highs and lows of his health journey battling ulcerative colitis and chronic kidney disease while discovering the resilience of the human spirit.

By sharing his trauma and laughing at some of the worst moments of his life, Dave has shown others that there is light at the end of the tunnel and how all of this has changed his life.

So grab your tickets and experience the hilarious, inspiring, and resilient Dave Piontkowski!

Photo by Natasha Rotondaro In 1948, Tennessee Williams published American Blues , a collection of five one-act plays, and a remarkable new production of this collection by Brooklyn's Irondale shows that these works have lost none of their power to both entertain and challenge audiences in the intervening three-quarters of a century. Comprising plays written in the decade between 1936 and 1946 - Moony's Kids Don't Cry (1936); The Dark Room (1939); The Case of the Crushed Petunias (1941); The Long Stay Cut Short, or, the Unsatisfactory Supper (1946); and Ten Blocks on the Camino Real (1946) - American Blues represents the second part of Irondale's American Century, the first install

How To Eat an Orange Written by Catherine Filloux Based on the writing of Claudia Bernardi Directed by Elena Araoz Presented by La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club at The Downstairs at La MaMa 66 E 4th St., Manhattan, NYC May 30-June 16, 2024 Paula Pizzi. Photo by Steven Pisano How To Eat an Orange , making its world premiere at La MaMa, does in fact include a real orange as a prop, and its multifarious symbolizations–evoking at different points cultural specificity, family history, matriarchal inheritance, and even a skull–are representative of the play's boundary-blurring, non-linear presentation of memory. The memories in question belong to visual artist, educator, and activist Claudia Bernardi , who lived through several years of her native Argentina's military junta, which held power from 1976 to 1983, before departing her country and eventually settling in the United States. How To Eat an Orange , from Catherine Filloux, a French Algerian American award-winning playwright,
