A fusion of storytelling, performance, filth, provocation and tears, Functional Bottom is back for one night only.
A darkly humorous exploration of a year in the life of Jessi Ryan – artiste, journalist and hot mess. How else to respond to an ‘anus horribilis’ in the era of the neo-Nazi, including nearly dying on the emergency room table, colon removal and the death of their sugar daddy?
Jessi Ryan turns to art, sex, truth-telling and more to burn this trash pile to the ground. It’s time to take stock of their self-medication carnival, crawl back from the abyss and get to the bottom of it all.
Directed by Anna Piper Scott, Functional Bottom explores, loss, survival and the art of clinging on with exquisitely manicured fingernails. Strap yourselves in for a raw, unapologetic and chaotic experience, where nothing is off limits, and rubber gloves are optional.
Tickets: $16 - $25
