Written by Simon Rich, All Out centers on comedic readings by the short story scribe that explore ego, envy, greed, and life in New York City. The piece, which began performances on Dec 12, 2025, is a companion to Rich's All In: Comedy About Love, last season's runaway hit.
Like that production, a star-studded group of comedy legends have anchored the play, rotating in groups of four over a 12-week limited run. Previous headliners have included Jon Stewart, Eric Andre, Ike Barinholtz, Jim Gaffigan, Abbi Jacobson, Ben Schwartz, Wayne Brady, Cecily Strong, Beck Bennett and Mike Birbiglia.
The current cast — Sarah Silverman, Heidi Gardner, Jason Mantzoukas and Craig Robinson — will appear through Feb. 15.
All Out also features features original music performed by Grammy-nominated soul-pop band Lawrence, including selections from their album Family Business. Tony Award winner Alex Timbers directs.
