ROSEN’S REVIEW: Winnie Stack has the moves

There’s one more chance to catch the one-woman show from actress/comedian Winnie Stack at the Brooklyn Comedy Collective. On Tuesday, Stack will, for the last time on the BCC stage, recount her childhood obsession with the actress Jenna Fischer and her sexual awakening that followed.
