About Extraordinary Alien
At Union Hall, Hoodo Hersi hosts **Extraordinary Alien**, a comedy show built around the perspective of an outsider watching city life up close. Brittany, Carney, Lissa, and Lenis rotate in as featured performers, keeping the night anchored in stand-up and live banter. In a New York tradition of small-room comedy as a testing ground, the show treats the boroughs as field notes on belonging, language, and social rules. Its clearest strength is how it turns cultural distance into clean, report-like observations rather than big declarations.
