Ilana Glazer Visits Strange Ways! September 20 2023
Comedian (COMEDIENNE) Ilana Glazer (Broad City, Rough Night, The Afterparty, False Positive) was in New Haven for their show at College Street Music Hall—AND THEY STOPPED INTO STRANGE WAYS! It was surreal to see her walking around the store, and shopping! She even made a little montage of her short time in New Haven, including a clip from her in our little shop.
Ive rewatched Broad City way too many times, so this was a special treat. Ilana is a unique force, and I also appreciate what she stands for. Her opening act Joyelle Nicole Johnson was also super nice (AND FUNNY). Thank you for Ilana and her crew for stopping in, for the tickets to the show, and also actually buying something and supporting small. #FAN4LYFE
