Adrienne Truscott’s (Still) Asking For It
2019 JOE’S PUB, NEW YORK
Written and Created by Adrienne Truscott Directed and Developed by Ellie Heyman
Adrienne Truscott’s (Still) Asking For It (A Stand-Up Rape About Comedy Starring Her Pussy and Little Else!) is a sex-positive, seriously funny, unflinching and nuanced show about rape culture. Its first iteration, performed in 2013, was a ribald provocation that came for everyone: comedians, rapists, lazy rape-apologists, and the ding-a-ling chodes who think women aren’t funny.
The run will also feature different special guests - comedians, sexual assault survivors, anti-harassment allies and more - at each performance. Guests include Mariam Bazeed, Becca Blackwell, Carolyn Castiglia, Kerry Coddett, Amanda Duarte, Ophira Eisenberg, Negin Farsad, Martha Graham Cracker (aka Dito Van Reigersberg), Marisela Grajeda Gonzalez, Jenn Harris, Jeff Hiller, Krishna Istha, Nikole Marone, Aparna Nancherla, Gus Solomons jr, Dane Terry, Neruda Williams, Angel Yau,
