Emotionally Unreasonable at Upright Citizens Brigade Theater

Show description:

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 hour of stand-up and musical comedy about her experience as a professional wedding officiant. With powerful storytelling, original music, and punchlines you never see coming, she explores power imbalances, sex robots, turning 30, and her unique perspective on legalizing love. *The show is normally 85 min, but this will be a special 55 min abridged version for UCB!

During her wildly successful 2023 Edinburgh Fringe run, she was featured in Playbill and The Scotsman said, “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.” Emotionally Unreasonable was named one of the top Edinburgh Fringe Shows by EuroNews, nominated for the Off West End Award and received a number of outstanding reviews! EPK
