Difficult People Cast Reunites for Election Night Live-Read of Unmade Movie Script at Town Hall

The cult Hulu sitcom Difficult People is staging a one-night-only reunion on Election Night, Nov. 3, at New York’s Town Hall. Creator Julie Klausner will lead original stars Billy Eichner, James Urbaniak, Andrea Martin, Cole Escola, and Gabourey Sidibe in a live-read of the feature film script that never got made after the series ended in 2017. The event offers fans a rare chance to see the acerbic comedy’s ensemble back together, delivering Klausner’s signature pop-culture skewering in a new format. For those who mourned the show’s cancellation, the reading is both a nostalgic treat and a glimpse of what could have been. It also taps into a growing trend of live script readings as alternative programming, giving cult properties a second life on stage. With its timing on a fraught election night, the event promises a sharp-witted escape for comedy lovers in New York City.
