The cafe is called Oatmeals. It's very good. My friend is also an Australian comedian performing here in New York City, and she's had her fair share of depressing career moments. So I was hoping for a little bit of sad sack solidarity. Unfortunately for me, Hannah Gadsby is having the breakout season of her career. I on the other hand, had 32 people in my Sunday matinee today, and 21 of them walked out during the show.
21! Not all at once, either, just a few at a time in a steady, humiliating trickle.
