If the dumpster fire that was Fyre Festival can relaunch and already be sold out, anything is possible in America! TOMORROW no cons will be involved as musical comedian Caitlin Cook (A.J. Holmes’ Yeah, But Not Right Now, Sean Patton’s Number One on Peacock) brings her “one-woman bathroom graffiti musical” The Writing on the Stall to Soho Playhouse for a three long weekends September run. The show is directed by A.J. Holmes (The Book of Mormon, Kimberly Akimbo, StarKid Productions) and produced by Ali Gordon (StarKid Productions, UCB). Prior to her off-Broadway debut, Caitlin Cook performed the show and earlier versions of it at Edinburgh Fringe, Hollywood Fringe, Brighton Fringe, Manchester Fringe, and many other venues and festivals of note.
“Legendary c*ck lobster,” “My life is on fire, I think I’m in love,” and “Life ain’t all burritos and strippers, my friend” are just three examples of the bathroom stall graffiti that Cook has been obsessing about and photographing for over a decade. Confessional, immersive, and uproariously funny, this one-of-a-kind show transforms graffiti scrawled all over the stalls into the lyrics of Caitlin’s original songs. This is shared humanity experience that you just can’t missed. Each performance will feature special opening acts, including confirmed guests:
Marcia Belsky (Fire Island, Tonight Show)
Jo Firestone (Joe Pera Talks With You, ZIWE)
Josh Gondelman (Desus & Mero, Last Week Tonight)
Alison Leiby (Oh God, A Show About Abortion; The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel)
Isabel Hagen (Tonight Show, Just For Laughs: New Faces)
Sean Patton (Peacock, Tonight Show)
Emma Willman (The Late Show, Netflix’s The Comedy Lineup)
