Comedy Night with Iliza Shlesinger

She began her comedy career performing in shows at Boston’s Emerson College, and has since become popular in the industry for her insightfulness and ability to work a crowd. You can find Wonderland, a film she co-starred in with Mark Wahlberg, and her four specials on Netflix. Take a 10-minute walk off campus to catch Shlesinger in action at Constitution Hall this Friday.
