Sophie Sucks Face / Side by Side

One evening. Two solo shows from Brooklyn's most exciting comedians, Sophie Zucker and Maggie Crane.

SOPHIE SUCKS FACE

From The Daily Show's Sophie Zucker comes a one-woman musical about love, death, and incest. When Sophie accidentally hooks up with her cousin, she must decide to shun him or seduce him at the next family gathering. Audiences have called the show a modern evolution of the greatest Jewish comediennes, invoking Barbra Streisand, Elaine May, and Gilda Radner. With an original score of all bops, like how radio stations used to play Grease, Sophie Sucks Face is a 'delightful showcase of Sophie's cornucopia of talents, but equally as important, it's very, very funny' (PasteMagazine.com).

SIDE BY SIDE

Can you ever be as cool as your older brother? Not when he has a sparkly purple wheelchair and everyone’s attention. Set during the early 2000s in the crunchy-granola-meets-redneck-woods of Western Massachusetts, Maggie Crane’s darkly funny solo show is an autobiographical account of growing up amidst disability, death, and Dunkin Donuts. To ground the show in preteen angst and vulnerability, Maggie uses pop punk and her lifelong obsession with the worst band of all time, Panic at the Disco. Side by Side is part solo show, part stand-up special about comedian Maggie's relationship with her older brother Aiden. Aiden was blind, in a wheelchair, and developmentally disabled, but this never stopped the wild jealousy, sibling rivalry, and unique bond between the two siblings.
