Enter THE SPARKLE ZONE...a universe of joy and gays, freaks and cabarets, hosted by Philip 'Sparkle' and featuring pairs of NY's most fabulous comedians and singers creating original, imaginative, ridiculous works of theatre for one night only! The Sparkle Zone ran for over a year at The Annoyance Theatre NY, where it was frequently listed as must-see comedy in Time Out NY and other outlets. Now, the show is back at The Duplex with a jam-packed evening featuring Philip's favorite performers from the NY comedy scene bringing theater, song, dance, and God knows what else to the stage! Let's bring back the whimsy to your life!  

Philip Markle moved to NYC in 2013 to launch the theatre and training center of The Annoyance Theater NY, where he acted as its Executive Director until Fall, 2016. He has produced, performed and taught worldwide, from Berlin to Bali, and performs weekly in NYC at the major comedy theaters and in the Off-Broadway show BLANK: The Musical. Philip's one man-show Sparkle Hour was featured in the 2013 International NY Fringe Festival. For more info, check out www.philipmarkle.com
