About the Hosts

Kylie Holloway is a performer, producer, and former tour guide. She currently makes a living writing jokes about climate change and curating the Ford Foundation’s cornerstone series. You can find her work in McSweeney’s, The Cut, Vox Media’s Polygon and live in Brooklyn on The New York Times-recommended variety show “Bear Hug,” as well as “Darling Tallie,” hosted by Tallie Medel. Her passion project is Nevertheless She Existed—a comedy storytelling show that celebrates the forgotten women and queers of history. She spent 5 years working as a tour guide and consultant at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Atlas Obscura, and at museums across the US. She’d love to hear what you’re working on.

He regularly performs stand up and sketch comedy across New York City and Brooklyn, especially at the Brooklyn Comedy Collective (BCC). He was a writer and performer on The PIT’s house sketch team Kennedy’s Mistress and debuted his one-man show “Following Coinfarts” at NYC Solocom. He also hosts the live variety-slash-game show series “Sports for Gays (and Curious Straights)” and has garnered millions of likes and views on his TikToks. In his day job, he’s a tech salesman at a big fancy company, but he doesn’t want you to feel intimidated. Ok, maybe just a little bit.



About the 1885 Tall Ship Wavertree

Wavertree was built at Southampton, England, in 1885 and, after a 24-year sailing career and circumnavigating the globe at least three times, is now the last remaining iron-hulled three-masted full-rigged cargo ship. Today, Wavertree serves as the iconic centerpiece of the bustling waterfront that shaped New York City into a modern metropolis. seaportmuseum.org/about-wavertree
