Description

It Gets Worse is a raw, comedic exploration about the horrors of being in relationships, specifically with oneself. Inspired by her journey as a child actor, mall goth, birth doula, private investigator and waiter, Cleary tells the story of her realization that she is all that and more (gay). Musing upon her most formative relationships as a through line, she shepherds her audience through her darkest, most disturbing fantasies of revenge, love, birth and transcendence. It's a portal, it's shadow work. It's a way to find out: 'Who here would f*ck me?'
