Next show: Tuesday, January 6 7pmET, at Joe’s Pub, NYC

Theme: “Reset”

New year, new stories!

We’re kicking off 2025 with Generation Women: Reset — a night of true tales about starting over, starting fresh, and finding your footing again. Join us at Joe’s Pub for stories of bold reinventions, quiet turning points, and the messy, magical moments in between.

From career pivots to heartbreak comebacks, from moving cross-country to moving on, our storytellers will share what it really takes to begin again — and how sometimes, the best chapters start after everything falls apart. Come laugh, cry, and leave inspired to press your own reset button this January. Because no matter your age or stage, it’s never too late to start anew.
