The 30th Annual Bistro Awards gala concert will take place on March 4 at Gotham Comedy Club and will be hosted by stage, opera, television, and film actor Jason Graae — a four-time Bistro winner.

The event will honor jazz headliner Carol Fredette and the Tony Award-winning actress and singer Lillias White, among the 11 winners. Lillias White is being recognized with an Outstanding Major Engagement Bistro Award for her shows at 54 Below.

Among the night’s other winners are singers Marissa Mulder and Gabrielle Stravelli; singer-pianist Eric Comstock; and jazz piano performer Jon Weber. The awards aim to recognize outstanding achievement in New York cabaret, jazz, and comedy.

This year, the awards will also welcome back several prominent past winners. Among the returning winners include special honorees Dee Dee Bridgewater (2012) and Marilyn Maye (2008); as well as the Broadway actors Rita Gardner, Karen Mason, Lee Roy Reams, Darius de Haas, and Mary Testa; the actor-comedian John Fugelsang; and the cabaret stars Aaron Lee Battle and Jeff Harnar.
