Maria DeCotis: Emotionally Unreasonable
Opening the New York Comedy Festival and following her critically acclaimed run in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, NYC-based comedian and viral sensation Maria DeCotis is premiering a fresh take on her new one-woman show: EMOTIONALLY UNREASONABLE.
Have you ever felt threatened when someone shows you their engagement ring? Have you ever been to a wedding and thought, “these people should NOT be getting married?!” Maria DeCotis has too, except she’s the one marrying them. EMOTIONALLY UNREASONABLE is an unforgettable hour of stand-up and musical comedy spotlighting her experience as a professional wedding officiant — while navigating her own relationships, identity, and mental health. With powerful storytelling, original music, and punchlines you never see coming, she explores her unique perspectives on marriage, power dynamics, sexism, sex robots, turning 30, and legalizing love.
PRESS REVIEWS: “DeCotis is the best new American stand-up I’ve seen since Michelle Wolf. Do whatever you can to see her because the next chance you get she’ll be starring in her own Netflix special.” -The Scotsman “DeCotis has a very strong voice and the power that she possesses is incredibly impressive. She performs these big numbers that you’d expect to find on Broadway or in a speakeasy in the 1920s, and are great examples of comedic and musical dexterity.” -Broadway Baby
