Accidentally kissing a cousin, being the only kid in middle school who urinated through a cathater and getting expelled from Sunday school are just some of the embarrassing stories Joey Rinaldi will be sharing at the FRIGID Festival this year. 

After recording his storytelling album "Picture Everybody Naked", comedian Joey Rinaldi is back for the FRIGID Festival at Under St. Marks Theater, 94 St. Marks Pl. NYC, from February 28-March 8 at various times. His new solo show, Story Time with Joey Rinaldi is a painfully honest look at Joeys middle school tragedies in all its meaningless glory which pairs well with his endearing humor, resulting in an absolute winner. However crazy you may feel, we guarantee after a night of hearing Joeys deepest darkest secrets, you will feel a lot better about yourself. 

UPDATE: Please note that our September 21st, 2019 performance has been cancelled, due to unforeseen circumstances. We apologize for any inconvenience, and we hope to see you at one of our later performances in the future.

"...a really amazing show with a super important message! It was a good reminder to check in with yourself and to not ignore what your mind is telling you. As someone who deals with mental illnesses, it was really amazing to see my struggles portrayed on stage in such a truthful way!"

-Fit for Broadway

"...a thought-provoking and entertaining exploration of one artist's struggle to move through mental disorder to a better self-understanding and state of self-acceptance and worth."

-Nannette Deasy, Co-founder and Artistic Director of IRTE
