“Agorafabulous”
Sara Benincasa is a NY based comedian, writer and radio talk show host (“Get in Bed” on Cosmo Radio - Sirius/XM). She was a citizen journalist for the 2008 MTV Choose or Lose Street Team, part of MTV’s 2008 Emmy Award-winning Think campaign. During the 2008 election, Sara created an online sensation with her Palin vlogs on Huffington Post's humor site, 23/6, a series for which she won a 2009 ECNY Award and was nominated for a Webby. Her cheerfully quirky, politically outspoken, sexually charged comedy has won praise from the Chicago Tribune, CNN, The New York Times, and The Guardian, among others. Newsweek called her “freaking hilarious,” and New York Times blogger Judith Warner deemed Sara "utterly hilarious."
AGORAFABULOUS: Mostly True Tales from Sara Benincasa is a one-woman show about agoraphobia and panic attacks. A surprisingly poignant celebration of weirdness and quirks, Sara’s show has been praised as, “part enlightening and eccentric, yet all wonderfully vivid and engrossing,” by The Apiary. She has taken AGORAFABULOUS to LAFF (Ladies are Funny Festival) in Austin, TX, where it was one of two featured one-woman shows, the DSI Comedy Theater in Carrboro, NC, Theater 99 in Charleston, SC, the PIT in NYC, Improv Boston in Boston, MA, The Playground Theater in Chicago, IL and will bring it to Largo in Los Angeles on Oct. 26th and Nov. 2nd.
AGORAFABULOUS combines the sharp hilarity that's made Sara a hit on the web with the nutty magnetism that's made her a rising star in the alternative comedy scene. Crazy has never been this much fun!
