Writer/performer Isaac Oliver's debut collection of essays, Intimacy Idiot, was hailed as "hilarious and unsparing" by New York Magazine, "transcendent" by Entertainment Weekly, "surprisingly moving" by Kirkus, and named one of NPR's Best Books of 2015. 

After two sold-out engagements last year, Oliver returns to Joe's Pub for a spring residency and a glass of pink wine, debuting brand-new stories as well as sharing old favorites.

Featuring Daniel Loeser
Directed by Jason Eagan

Reviews

  • “If David Sedaris and Fran Lebowitz had a baby who wrote about subways, theater patrons and blow jobs, he might be a lot like Isaac Oliver." 

    —Time Out New York
  • "Brilliant and hilarious and surprisingly, shockingly at times, intimate. You’ll want to have dinner with him and maybe want to slightly protect him from the world and himself."

    —Nathan Lane, The New York Times
