Bridget Everett is an American comedy institution! She’s a darling of the New York stand-up circuit, performing her own unique brand of outrageous comedy/cabaret fusion.
he’s got a string of intimidating achievements under her belt, many of which EVERY GAY MAN would be insanely jealous of; she’s performed with Patti LuPone at the Carnegie Hall, and she’s had cameos in a host of iconic TV shows, including Trainwreck, Girls, and Sex & The City.
In Sex & The City she played the role of “drunk party girl”. AMAZING!. She’s also released an album called Pound It! Amazing. That’s the sort of thing we’d name an album.
She describes herself as an “alt-cabaret provocateur”. So it’s perfect really that she’s doing a run at The Soho Theatre. Soho’s full of alt-cabaret provocateurs! If you count Lady Lloyd in a jock strap as alt-cabaret.
It’s her UK debut and it’s gonna be major! So leave your conservative sensibilities at the door (if you have any), and sink into a seat with an absurdly huge glass of wine, and be treated to something hilarious, warm and truly original, from a legendary talent.
Amy Schumer says “If you see one live show, make it this one.” And if it’s good enough for Amy Schumer, it’s GOOD ENOUGH FOR US!
