My First Ex-Husband is a hilarious, no-holds-barred series of stories created by the legendary Joy Behar. With razor-sharp wit and zero filters, Joy dives into the messy truths of love, marriage, and divorce, revealing the chaotic, funny, and often eye-opening realities of relationships.

March 26 to April 20 OBIE winner Veanne Cox (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), *Gina Gershon (Showgirls, Bound, Face Off); Emmy nominee Jackie Hoffman (Only Murders in the Building), and Andrea Navedo (Jane The Virgin). They will perform from. *Please note that Gina Gershon will only be performing April 2-20.

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR My First Ex-Husband
MY FIRST EX-HUSBAND: DIVORCE COMEDIAN STYLE
5 / 10
Behar has generously given her costars the best material. Her monologues aren’t as engaging; rather, they’re more like stand-up routines. In fact, the second—about a middle-aged woman contemplating divorce in order to escape the constant demands of her “hot to trot” hubby—is pretty much joke after joke after joke. It’s in her wheelhouse, but there’s only so much you can hear about shtupping and pumping and spritzing.
My First Ex-Husband
4 / 10
With the exception of Tovah Feldshuh’s “Wigged Out” and to a lesser extent Behar’s “The Touch” the monologues were litanies of boorish and sometimes dangerous behavior with which these women put up. Until they didn’t or until they gave up. If these were stand-up routines each would have lasted a few minutes. As it is, the writing wanders from pillar to post until we lose the thread.
