Performances are August 11 and 12.
Written by and starring comedian, Erin Mohr, Erin Mohr Gets Naked* is a one-woman stand-up comedy show for adults, running for two (2) nights, August 11 and 12 at the Zephyr Theatre at 8:00pm in Hollywood (7456 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90046). Additionally, there will be one more performance as part of the Burbank Comedy Festival at Flappers Comedy Club and Restaurant on August 13 at 6:00 pm (102 E Magnolia Blvd, Burbank, CA 91502).
At a time when political forces are "righteously" working to strip transgender folks of their humanity and by extension, their existence, it is critical to infuse society with positive, healthy, thriving, happy representations of trans people, giving those navigating the minefield of their own transition story something to hold on to - a reason to survive. Erin Mohr Gets Naked* is the most entertaining antidote to erasure-politics. The show is a comedic celebration, for adults, of a transgender woman's experience and the consequence of body positivity & representation - saving lives; Mohr quiets the din of transphobes and haters with every uplifting joke, leaving it all on the stage, including her clothes. That's right, Erin Mohr shows her hot body for the kids, so they'll know their bodies are beautiful - well, so their parents will know because this show is strictly 18+ for admission.
Directed by Genevieve Morrill, the two 8:00 PM shows mark the debut stage performances of Mohr's forthcoming heartfelt, raw, daring, and audacious comedy special and are opened by out, proud, and sassy stand-up, Justin Lucas. Free tickets these shows are available with RSVP only on Eventbrite: tickets. Tickets to the Burbank Comedy Festival show is available here: tickets.
