Natalie Palamides' solo show WEER will reopen the Cherry Lane Theatre
Tickets are on sale now at CherryLaneTheatre.org, or at the theatre's box office, newly reopened today.
In WEER, the award-winning clown-comedienne plays both sides of a dueling Gen X couple – literally: one half of her body the man; the other, the woman. Reviewing its Fringe debut last year, Time Out's Andrzej Lukowski called the 'gloriously ridiculous '90s rom com' a 'virtuoso piece of batshittery from Palamides.'
Palamides writes, directs and performs in the show, describing it as, New Years Eve 1999. Star Crossed Lovers. A Quarrel at the strike of midnight. Expect to see split-in-half wigs, costumes and fake chest hair in the 'hysterically funny but weirdly poignant hour.'
Opening night is set for September 28, with performances scheduled through October 19.
Tickets range from $30–$109 and are available now at CherryLaneTheatre.org, though there'll also be A$24 rush ticket deal for every performance (more than one ticket available per show, but how could we resist the nod?).
Palamides hit the indie mainstream when Netflix picked up her sell-out special Nate for distribution. The Pittsburgh native has won a slew of Edinburgh awards, which makes New York theater the next logical stage to conquer.
Tucked in Manhattan's West Village since 1817, when it went up as a farm silo before finding new lives as a brewery, box factory and gay bar, the intimate theater has seen some of the greatest theatrical talents premiere works by the likes of Edward Albee and Tennessee Williams. Indie film company A24 purchased it in 2023, and will present theatrical productions, stand-up comedy, staged readings, film screenings and other special events in the 166-seat venue, which now includes a new bar and restaurant from the Frenchette team. A screening series helmed by Sofia Coppola will begin on Sunday, September 14, followed by an inaugural block party.

Chancellor: Public will reject Corbyn's new party like they rejected him before
The Chancellor launched an attack on the former Labour leader personally as well as his new party, saying 'the bloke's got a big ego'. Ms Reeves told an audience at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival that Mr Corbyn had 'tried to destroy my party' during his leadership in which he lost two general elections, one in 2017 and one in 2019. She was asked about the left-wing party during an appearance on the Iain Dale All Talk show on Saturday. Mr Corbyn launched the new political party with former Labour MP Zarah Sultana, which still does not appear to have a name but is marketed as 'Your Party'. Mr Corbyn vowed it would 'take on the rich and powerful'. Asked about whether the new party could eat into Labour's support by becoming a 'Reform of the left', the Chancellor said: 'Jeremy Corbyn has had two chances to be prime minister and I think the country gave their verdict, most recently in 2019 when Labour had its worst result since 1935. 'If he wants to give it another go, be my guest. I think the voters will have the same reaction.' Asked by Mr Dale if Labour was being complacent about the new political group, she said: 'It's not being complacent. He tried to destroy my party and he can now go set up his own party. 'The country has rejected him twice. The bloke's got a big ego. He can have another go but I think the country will have the same verdict.' It's time for a new direction in politics. #YourParty — YourParty_UK (@ItsYourPartyUK) July 27, 2025 The Chancellor's comments saw some of the biggest cheers of her chat with Mr Dale, which lasted around one and a half hours. Mr Corbyn has said that more than 500,000 people had signed up to the movement in less than a week. The figure was dismissed by Ms Reeves who told the crowd in Edinburgh that her sister Ellie Reeves, a serving Labour MP, had received an email stating she had signed up to the party. Speaking at the same event, the Chancellor said Reform UK was now Labour's main rival, describing the Tories as 'irrelevant'. But she warned that Nigel Farage offered 'simple solutions' that amounted to a 'mirage'. Mr Corbyn has been approached for comment.
