Comedy duo return with their acclaimed immersive Off-Broadway musical hit.

"Master performers Katie Hartman and David Carl light wedding culture ablaze at their live, totally wild matrimonial comedy show. Sit back and watch as the two powerhouses turn their romantic duel into an explosive stage experiment" - Time Out NY
"As funny as the marriage antics are, Carl and Hartman are also impressive lyricists and musicians who harmonize really well together on their original songs in the show." -- Theatre Is Easy
"David Carl and Katie Hartman are explosive dueling forces of nature." -- BestNewYorkComedy.com
Performers David Carl (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Gary Busey's One-Man Hamlet, Trump Lear, The Tender Bar) and Katie Hartman (Netflix’s The Week Of, High Maintenance) originally met in 2014 doing improv comedy at The Pit. Within 3 months they premiered the original iteration of their musical comedy DAVID AND KATIE GET RE-MARRIED. They started dating a year later, toured their show, won awards and finally got married for real in 2022. Now, 10 years later, they are back with a new production of DAVID AND KATIE GET RE-MARRIED, beginning May 2 at Asylum NYC.
David and Katie have broken up and reunited more frequently than Spiderman has been rebooted, but they are finally ready to tie the know again -- and you are cordially invited. Unfortunately, David and Katie's friends and family refuse to support their love a second time, so the audience will have to witness this second slapdash wedding. These real-time trainwreck nuptials will make you laugh, cry, and possibly question the institution of marriage itself. This confidently codependent couple will teach you how to love correctly through original music, exotic rituals, and a unity volcano. Hopefully this time it'll stick!
Written and performed by David Carl and Katie Hartman, DAVID AND KATIE GET RE-MARRIED is directed by Michole Biancosino with musical direction by Jody Shelton.
DAVID AND KATIE GET RE-MARRIED runs Thursdays May 2, 23, June 6, 20, 27 & July 11 at 7:30 PM and July 25, August 8 & 22nd at 9:30 PM. Asylum NYC is located at 123 E 24th Street; NY, NY 10010.
