Smart, funny, blunt and poignant. This show will sell out, get your tickets ASAP.

Rachel is a skilled comic and storyteller with a knack for making audiences feel just-comfortable-enough, while talking about the least comfortable parts of her life. The show keeps returning to the loss of her father as a teenager and the ripple effect that has had as she navigates adulthood —a heavy subject that she handles with a mix of honesty and wit that somehow feels relatable, even if you don’t have a dead dad. There’s plenty of sharp, self-deprecating humor about sex and dating, the need to be loved, and the search for validation. Her stage presence is grounded, her delivery is clear, and she gives us grade A comedy with a good dose of vulnerability.
