LYDIA LUNCH w/ JT Haberstaat, hosted by Mike Engle at COBRA CABANA

The Last Laugh is a combination spoken word/stand-up comedy tour with JT Habersaat performing his bitingly sardonic brand of comedic storytelling and legendary performer Lydia Lunch closing out the evening with the bold, confrontational spoken word that has earned her a rabid fanbase all over the globe.

Known as the Queen of No Wave and Muse of Cinema Transgression, Lydia Lunch has been touring in a variety of mediums since 1977. Lydia has appeared live with the likes of John Giorno, Hubert Selby, Jr., Karen Finley, Jerry Stahl, Wanda Coleman, Henry Rollins, J.G. Thirlwell, Rowland S. Howard, Thurston Moore, and many more, and has presented workshops for writers throughout the U.S.A. and Europe, where she continues to tour with both music and spoken word. She is the author of numerous books and has appeared in countless film projects.

Deemed “The Godfather of Punk Comedy” by Chicago Now, JT Habersaat created the groundbreaking DIY juggernaut The Altercation Punk Comedy Tour in 2007, which he headlined for over a decade. Recently named one of The Interrobang’s “Next Big Thing Comics,” JT has consistently worked the road with the likes of Eddie Pepitone, Brian Posehn, and Doug Stanhope, as well as bands such as Dwarves, The Sword, Off with Their Heads, Dead Boys, and countless others. JT also curates the long-running Altercation Comedy Festival in Austin, Texas, recently named “one of the best comedy festivals in the world” by Vulture. He is currently working on his third book.
