Robbie Rozelle is now “Back in the Basement” on June 24 and July 14, 2021, at 9:45pm at 54 Below! After selling out the first evening in under thirty minutes, the much-anticipated return of the comic singer to 54 Below has added more seats and a second date.
After a very brief hiatus (and practically one year to the date of the release of his debut album “Songs From Inside My Locker: Live at Feinstein’s/54 Below”), Robbie Rozelle returns to the basement with an all-new show just for Pride. Join Robbie and his teeny-tiny band as they celebrate life, love and living out loud in a new hilarious romp from the creator of Songs From Inside My Locker and Tuesdays at 54 that is sure to be full of his signature medleys, razor-sharp wit, and just a soupçon of snark. He just hopes his suit jacket still fits. And if it doesn’t, who cares? It’s a celebration!“Back in the Basement” is written and performed by Robbie Rozelle, with music direction and arrangements by Yasuhiko Fukuoka. The evening will feature special guest Joseph C. Townsend. www.54below.com
