Fran Lebowitz at Ridgefield Playhouse

Cultural satirist Fran Lebowitz brings her sharp wit and unmistakable voice to the stage with an evening of commentary drawn from her essays, interviews, and off-the-cuff observations. Known for her acerbic takes on current events, media, and modern life, Lebowitz offers pointed humor that ranges from social critiques to her famously specific pet peeves. The New York Times Book Review has called her an “important humorist in the classic tradition,” and she is often described as a modern heir to Dorothy Parker.

The performance takes place on Friday, January 16, 2026, at 8:00 pm at Ridgefield Playhouse in Ridgefield, Connecticut. Audiences can expect an unscripted and unapologetically opinionated evening that reflects Lebowitz’s enduring influence as a voice of urban cool and cultural commentary.
