Informatie

The leaked letter ‘too many female comedians’ went viral in March. The debate about ‘black’ vs. ‘white’ comedy continues. Desiree Burch is a New York-based solo performer whose ‘psychologically charged performances combine humor with guts, intimacy - and a healthy dose of audience participation.’ She’s also female & black. From the Yale School of Drama, Burch is a New York ‘Alt-Comedy Diva’ who always seeks the truth from herself, her work and her audiences.

FOR MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY

’52 Man Pickup’ stars Ms. Burch as a dominatrix comedian and is illegal in 90 countries. With a deck of cards, Burch lets the audience ‘Go Fish’ through her 52 hilariously true and uncensored encounters with firemen, pirates, male cheerleaders and poets – and their respective rankings. Who's a King? Who's an Ace? Who’s a lowly 2? Whether audience members recognize themselves in Desiree’s cards - or find themselves next to her onstage - they soon learn: being ‘naked’ invokes more questions than answers.
