NYC Comedian Sally Ann Hall is proud to release her debut comedy special Dead Wife Pretty, out TODAY on Apple TV, Amazon Prime, and many others via Comedy Dynamics.
After dropping out of high school and traveling about Europe Sally Ann came to New York City to continue the wanderlust, and ended up a singing bartender in a famous West Village piano bar. But what she didn’t know is that her true calling of standup comedy was waiting in the wings. After dating a series of male comedians she realizes that audacity is often more rewarded than talent.
In Dead Wife Pretty, “glamourous high-school drop-out” Sally Ann presents a traditional standup show that butts heads with traditional values. She tells her coming-of-age journey from Alaska to New York City with vulnerable vulgarity and unflinching honesty. Says Sally Ann: “I’m a massive feminist with massive self-esteem issues, as I think many of us are. I’m struggling to shake off my conditioning and make peace with my trauma, like all millennials, so we can be the good little grownups we want to be. I’ve learned to process that by trauma-dumping on strangers in a silly, borderline-stupid way that’s raunchy, but also…endearing? Can I say that? I think I can say that…I’m going to.”
Sally Ann turns her lifetime of ridiculous lore into a relatable, honest, and hilarious performance. Her experiences in a religious family of origin are sharply juxtaposed with the strange, artistic life she’s built with a thespian husband, about which she quips: “Look, it’s embarrassing to have found happiness in a heterosexual marriage – but I have always found that the best material is born from my own embarrassment.”
