Get in, loser, we’re getting divorced! 

 

From the twisted mind of sad award-winning clown CECILIA CORRIGAN comes a hilarious nightmare romcom about a brokenhearted trophy wife: as the prospect of her dream gay wedding falls apart, she does, too, and the show follows her psyche’s explosion through a lineup of chaotic femme characters: an immortal witch, a codependent Jesus, a postapocalyptic Real Housewife, even a very grouchy worm!

 

After sold-out runs last year at the Brick Aux in New York and at Philadelphia Fringe Festival, Cecilia Corrigan’s one-woman comedy show The Gay Divorce is heading to The Brick in New York for Pride month, followed by three weeks of shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
