BRIDGET EVERETT:
Free-spirited funnywoman Bridget Everett always leaves fans in stitches with her raunchy songs and rapid-fire standup. She owns the stage outright as she brings her sidesplitting songs to life with over-the-top energy and soulful vocals. Her small club shows are unpredictably interactive, whether she’s dancing in the crowd or bringing volunteers on stage for funky numbers like “Coming for You”, “Come and Get It”, and “What I Gotta Do?”. With tons of risqué favorites served up with swagger to spare, Everett’s cabaret style of standup gets ticket buyers LOLing as she takes a walk on the wild side with them on tour.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Self-described “alt-cabaret provocateur” Bridget Everett grew up in the small college town of Manhattan, KS. She left for the Big Apple in the early ‘00s to pursue comedy and hone her skills in small local clubs. It was in New York that she developed several sexually-explicit cabaret-style songs, which soon became the defining feature of her fearless stage show. Performing with her live band The Tender Moments -- which includes Ad-Rock from The Beastie Boys and Carmine Covelli from The Julie Ruin -- Everett became a fixture in the city’s standup community. She continued to make a name for herself with appearances on Inside Amy Schumer, The Bachelorette, and The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, and eventually landed her own half-hour special on Comedy Central in 2015 called Bridget Everett: Gynecological Wonder. Bridgett Everett continues to climb the ranks of standup’s elite as she slays live audiences with her raw energy and raunchy tunes.
Her show is a must-see! She mastered that venue with aplomb. It was everything and more!!!! Love love love! Would see her every time she performs.
One of the best shows I've seen. Bridget is extraordinarily talented. Her voice, musicality and the tightness of her band is stunning. Her writing and delivery, her use of her own body and her impact on the audience is genius. I would guarantee that everyone who attended that show left feeling differently about themselves, even physically- one’s sense of embodiment was enhanced, maybe through Bridget’s own comfort in her sense of embodiment being conveyed to us through mirror neurons? Her head-on confidence in talking about issues that can feel shameful helped the audience see the humanity in them and made people feel these issues are speakable, knowable and universal. This went way beyond entertainment, even though it was extremely entertaining, it was also a compelling psychological experience. I so admire Bridget’s integrity, creativity and courage as an artist!
One of the best shows I've ever seen. Incredible comedy and emotionally wrenching songs from a multi-talented woman, who is an actress, singer and comedian. The best show I have seen in years.
What a night! Her voice is amazing, her lyrics incomparable 😂 I’m so sorry I haven’t caught a show before this one. Thank you!
Great venue. Great performance. 2nd time seeing her and looking forward to my 3rd.
I didn’t want the night to end! Bridget Everett is a force
... Go see Bridget Everett. I had a smile on my face from start to finish. A creative force and world-class vocalist with a terrific sense of humor, she held the audience in the palms of her hands from the moment she walked on stage. The world needs more Bridget Everett - mega-talented, super-charming, and just so authentic.
Bridget Everett is an uncommon performer, with laugh-out loud material that spans absurdist humor, singing about genitals, as well as very tender moments — all with a world class singing voice. She moves around the stage quite swiftly for such a big gal. Worth seeing but not with prude people.
I just got rocked by the comedic genius in my living room. You make it out to San Diego. I'm bringing everyone I know for an unforgettable night. Wow. Just wow. That girl is on fire! Two thumbs up.... way up!
If you are in NY and are lucky enough to have the chance to see her live at Joe's Pub DO NOT miss it! I've lived in NY over 20 years and it is one of the few shows I've gone back to see a second and third time. It is a guaranteed fun night!
