Stephanie C. Kernisan Stars In BAD SEX AND OTHER PROBLEMATIC ANALOGIES

Stephanie C. Kernisan aka Yitzhak of Philly's 20th Anniversary Production of "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" has a new solo show: "Bad Sex And Other Problematic Analogies"

Friday, April 5, 2019 at 8 PM
at the Rotunda, 4014 Walnut Street in Philadelphia. Tickets are $15 at badsex.bpt.me.

Alternatively titled "confessions of an unintentionally white-passing, mixed, fat, queer, feminist, switchy witch", "Bad Sex and Other Problematic Analogies" explores heartache and healing with humor and humility. This show is part essay reading, part stand-up routine, part musical event written and performed by Stephanie C. Kernisan.

Stephanie C. Kernisan is a writer and entertainer working out of the Greater Philadelphia Area. Originally from North Carolina, she identifies as a queer southern belle or a genderless alien sex goddess.
