Courtney Pauroso // Aug 30-Sep 2 @ Soho Theatre


  • Soho Theatre 21 Dean Street London, England, E7 9BJ United Kingdom (map)

After a soldout run of her debut show Gutterplum in 2019, LA clown Courtney Pauroso returns as sex robot Vanessa 5000, who - over the course of her product demonstration - grows increasingly conflicted about technology, modernity and her own existence. Artificially intelligent. Genuinely stupid. ChatGPT ain't got nothing on Vanessa 5000's sweet synthetic ass.

Directed by Corey Podell.
