What do you do when you are professionally funny for a living AND use your own experience as a person with disabilities to crush stigma and change attitudes? Well, for stuttering comedian Nina G, you take it on the road in a series of presentations that are both funny and profound. Much like Hannah Gadsby's breakout Netflix special 'Nannette,' Nina G blends her comedy 'material' with her real life experiences for a unique tour you can see live!
Inclusive, inquisitive, and insightful, the Come Inside Festival brings performers from around the world to Portland for two weeks of intimate theater that celebrates sexual expression. Like a cross between Hump and TBA, with a dash of Hannah Gadsby's Nanette, Come Inside reminds us that sex can be fun (and funny), and stories truly are medicine.
In a recent social media exchange, a man related to me how he was not interested in watching Hannah Gadsby's acclaimed Netflix special because he didn't need to feel ashamed.

The final off-Broadway performances of Hannah Gadsby's critically acclaimed and multi-award winning show, Nanette, are scheduled for June 20 - 30 at SoHo Playhouse. Presented by WestBeth Entertainment, SoHo Playhouse, Barrow Street Productions and Token Events, tickets are on sale now for all performances.
