Description

As seen on Reno 911, Key & Peele, and Jackass 4. After a sold-out run of her debut show Gutterplum in 2019, LA clown Courtney Pauroso returns as sex robot Vanessa5000, who – over the course of her product demonstration – grows increasingly conflicted about technology, modernity and her own existence. Artificially intelligent. Genuinely stupid. ChatGPT ain't got nothing on Vanessa5000's sweet synthetic ass. 'Flights of ridiculousness you can't believe you are seeing' (New York Times). 'Hilarious and unsettling' ***** (BroadwayBaby.com). 'Highly original and fairly strange' **** (Skinny). 'You have to see this show' **** (Scotsman).
