All new nonsense, same non-stop shenanigans!

It’s the first meeting of Phyll-Ann DeBlanks’ new book club – but the hostess is dead. Six suspects, one victim, and only two-thirds of a script. Our celebrity cast needs YOU to help them fill in the blanks, Mad Libs-style, to help solve this ridiculous murder mystery.

NYC's hilarious fill-in-the-blanks-whodunnit is back with an all-new script and an all-star cast. A one-night-only benefit performance, on Monday, November 25, Villain: DeBlanks BOOK CLUB! brings together the unmissable lineup of two-time Emmy winner and comedy icon, Judy Gold, the unpredictable, always-in-demand Emmy-nominee Jackie Hoffman (Only Murders in the Building, Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Tony-nominee, chanteuse, and author of The Little Black Book of Backstage Etiquette Brenda Braxton (Smokey Joe's Cafe, Chicago), comic dynamo and a star of the Broadway sensation Oh, Mary!, Bianca Leigh (Hurricane Bianca, The Nap), versatile Drama Desk-nominated dynamo Amy Spanger (Chicago, Reefer Madness) and Broadway's hilariously brilliant – and brilliantly funny – Alli Mauzey (Kimberly Akimbo, Wicked).
