What shapes us? What breaks us? And how do we turn it all into something worth laughing about?

Christi Somers—praised by The New York Times as “very funny” and hailed as a “must-see” by Time Out New York—delivers a powerhouse new hour that’s as bold as it is blisteringly funny. With her signature blend of razor-sharp wit, theatrical absurdity, and raw, unfiltered honesty, she dives headfirst into the chaos of childhood, the heartbreak of loss, the contradictions of faith, and the ridiculous beauty of simply surviving.

This isn’t just stand-up—it’s a full-throttle, can’t-look-away experience from a comedian whose career has been built on truth, connection, and comedy that cuts deep. Hilarious, heartbreaking, and completely unforgettable, this is the show you’ll be talking about long after the lights come up.
