Vetter founded No Name in 1994 with fellow City College student Dawn J. Owens. The show began as a sketch comedy troupe called “The No Name Players,” which offered Vetter, Owens and fellow performers the opportunity to work out new material and play in a fun and supportive environment. From its inaugural shows at Restaurant Row’s “Don’t Tell Mama,” No Name has called some of Manhattan’s most well-known alternative venues home, including Mo Pitkin’s House of Satisfaction, The Tank, and Otto’s Shrunken Head.

Recirculation is located at 876 Riverside Drive in Manhattan. Take the M4 bus, “C” train to 163rd Street or the #1 train to 157th Street. For more No Name information, contact: (347) 885-3466 / NoNameNYC@hotmail.com.
