Evil Gays/Big Orgasms: Paris Adkins and Brooke Ferris at Dixon Place

Queer-Coded Villain by Paris Adkins

Paris Adkins lives their life by this motto, and in this show, they ask: Why? Why are all the best villains gay? What makes a person evil? Paris wants to find out, because they just might be the world’s shittiest supervillain. In this solo comedy piece, they will examine their wrongdoings: shoplifting, lying, removing a man’s balls… with their mind. Paris will determine what made them evil, and what to do with their newfound villain powers.

Paris Adkins is a comedian and writer based in New York. They have been performing comedy for over 10 years, and currently perform with Day Trip, a house improv team at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre. They were recently seen acting in Who Put Bella In The Wych Elm, a queer horror comedy play, at Theatre for the New City. They have been featured in video content for Buzzfeed, Improv Everywhere, and the ACLU, and can be seen as “Gen Z Hot Dog” in upcoming feature film, Regulars. They are originally from Miami, Florida, and have a chaotic Floridian energy that won’t go away no matter how hard they try.

My Orgasm and Me by Brooke Ferris

In a world where women and female-presenting people are somehow expected to arrive fully assembled with a PhD in sex, zero insecurities, and exactly the right number of past partners (whatever that is), Brooke Ferris stumbled onto the art of Orgasmic Meditation.

In My Orgasm and Me, Brooke takes audiences on a journey of panic, confusion, embarrassment, self-discovery, and, eventually, self-confidence. Along the way, she asks big questions about desire, shame, intimacy, and why everyone seems to have gotten a manual except you.

No matter how you identify, you’ll leave this show knowing more about yourself… and definitely more about Brooke.
