MODERN TIMES: A Comedy Show by Christina Catherine Martinez
We’re thrilled to welcome comedian Christina Catherine Martinez back to PRS for a presentation of her hilarious illustrated satire MODERN TIMES! MODERN TIMES refracts the disorder of the democratic experiment through the lens of beloved discount retail chain Ross Dress for Less. Criticism in the streets, a discount in the sheets. A bitingly surreal and savagely funny portrait of consumerism, feminism, and democracy from the brilliant comedic and creative mind of Christina Catherine Martinez.
Special guests to be announced!
The work of Christina Catherine Martinez has been described as "conceptually highbrow and physically slapstick", "a great bridge between many different disciplines, including performance art, stand up, and clowning" and "Naomi Klein meets Tallulah Bankhead." She’s been named a Comedian You Should Know by New York Magazine , a Comic to Watch by TimeOutLA , and is a recipient of the Andy Warhol Foundation Arts Writers Grant for art criticism. She has performed commissions for The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Art Toronto, REDCAT Center for the Performing Arts, The Geffen Contemporary, the Spit Take Comedy Series in Minneapolis, and at the SXSW Comedy Festival in Austin, Texas. Her book of essays Aesthetical Relations , is available from Hesse Press. Her 2024 half-hour comedy special How to Bake a Cake in the Digital Age was named A Comedy Special You Should Definitely Watch by Vulture and is available on YouTube.
