Star Stone's CLT CULT to Play Brooklyn Comedy Collective Eris Mainstage
Directed by Ryan Cunningham, the one-woman show features original music and lyrics by Star Stone and Charlie O'Connor.
Following a sold-out run at New York City's Neurotica Festival last month, Star Stone will return to the stage with her acclaimed solo show Cl*t Cult on Sunday, October 4 at 7 p.m., with doors opening at 6:30 p.m., at Brooklyn Comedy Collective's Eris Mainstage.
Directed by Ryan Cunningham, Cl*t Cult features original music and lyrics by Star Stone and Charlie O'Connor. Brooklyn Comedy Collective Eris Mainstage, 167 Graham Avenue Brooklyn, NY, 11206. Tickets are $22.17.
When Star Stone was seeking an org*sm in her late 20s, she found OneTaste, an organization that prosecutors and former members have described as operating like a cult, using manipulation and sexual and economic abuse to control its members.
Cl*t Cult is a one-woman comedy about OneTaste, the controversial sexual wellness organization best known for promoting the OM (org*smic Meditation) technique-a 15-minute practice involving clitoral stimulation that claims to facilitate org*sm. Based on Stone's true story, the show follows one woman's quest to have her first org*sm, only to find herself accidentally joining a sex cult.
Part comedy, part cautionary tale, Cl*t Cult explores the impact of sex-negative culture, the dynamics of power and control, and the sexual and economic exploitation of women.
