Since our debut show in 2014, House of SpeakEasy has been proud to feature a diverse range of published authors and performers, from Pulitzer Prize–winning journalists to acclaimed novelists and poets, as well as comedians, musicians, and emerging writers. Whether it’s a part of Seriously Entertaining shows at Joe’s Pub and Crowdcast, our SpeakTogether program in NYC high schools, or our bookmobile initiative, we are committed to presenting the best writers of today.
