Longing Lasts Longer

New York’s undisputed queen of the underground, Penny Arcade, is back in the City after touring Europe and Australia with Longing Lasts Longer, “a rampage through opinions and themes garnered over four decades spent perched on society’s edge.”(The Australian) Blending her signature stand-up comedy and memoir with a live mixed soundtrack, Arcade critiques the suburbanization of New York City, turning the Big Apple into the Big Cupcake, and the city that never sleeps into the city that can’t wake up. She mourns “the good old days” and celebrates the city’s remaining dark corners and the spirit of individuality that still draws people to New York.
