Katie Rubin's WHY NOT? A Comedy Hour Announced At Capital Stage

Capital Stage presents Katie Rubin's WHY NOT? A Stand Up Comedy Hour with Katie Rubin on Sunday, Nov. 10, 2019 at 7:00 pm. Local favorite Comedienne Katie Rubin returns to Capital Stage in her fifth comedy hour!

In this, her fifth hour of Stand Up Comedy, Katie turns her keen eye on Consciousness itself, Humanity, and the arrogant notion that humanity's consciousness matters. At all. To anyone. Katie's laser sharp wit burns holes through all things bullsh*t. She tackles every spiritual lie, every emotional lie, and every lie of the mind. She promises to shock and shake you into fits of blissful laughter on topics such as: the toxic masculine, the "president," general human idiocy, annoying spiritual people, overly feminized guys, overly macho guys, high tech dildos, being the child of an alcoholic, being a loud spiritual lady, judgment, and most importantly, this whole "being a person" thing. This is a comedy show unlike other comedy shows. Together with Katie we will laugh-ponder "WHY NOT?"

Katie Rubin is a seasoned Improviser, Stand Up Comic, Solo Show Performer, and Comedic Actress. She has an MFA and a BA in Acting from UC Davis and Amherst College.
