(Still) Asking For It (A Stand-Up Rape About Comedy Starring Her Pussy and Little Else!)
“It's so exhilarating to see the ugliness of rape discourse taken on, and bested, not with humourlessness or censoriousness, but with firecracker wit, sophistication and luminous humanity.”— The Guardian
“She asked us to imagine what a culture of vengeful survivors might look like, and what would happen if all those who had been terrorized by rape culture rose up. She means it as a terrifying thought experiment, but the audience surged to its feet as the lights blacked out, ready to answer her call.” - Helen Shaw, Time Out
“Cathartic… unflinching humor, which delights in confounding our expectations at every turn.”— Miriam Felton-Dansky, Artforum
