Peter Yawitz: A New Man

Peter Yawitz presents his cabaret show, A New Man, which just won the 2005 Nightlife Award for Outstanding Musical Comedy Performance.

Critics have said:

“In a simple declarative sentence: I haven’t seen a better cabaret show in years. Peter Yawitz is a dazzling triple threat. He’s personable, dead-pan funny and an instinctively sharp performer. His comedy is commentary on our current society, in the spirit of a Will Rogers, or perhaps Mort Sahl, with a touch of Lenny Bruce’s irreverence.” — Peter Leavy, Cabaret Scenes

“Here’s a guy who thinks and writes funny, who performs with assured ease, and, moreover, who concerns himself with subject matter that doesn’t occur so regularly to others. Puns abound, and it’s all delightful.” — David Finkle, Back Stage

“There’s still quite a bit of intelligent, witty fare out there. Example: the hilarious lyrics of performer-songwriter Peter Yawitz, whose show is a winner.” — Michael Portantiere, theatermania.com

“A New Man” is the discovery of the summer.” — The Siegel Column, theatermania.com

“A New Man” is an entertaining romp and Yawitz a smart, new talent with a lot to say!” — David Hurst, Show Business Weekly

“Comic singer-songwriter Peter Yawitz has a wife, kids and a day job in the business world. In the real world, that’s no big deal; in cabaret, it makes him a genuine oddity. His very entertaining show, which has been packing them in includes clever and alarmingly catchy original songs on such topics as corporate lingo, parenthood and straight-guy small talk.” — Critics’ Picks, Time Out New York
