Mississippi Ave, Portland, OR 97227 After opening night of the New York Comedy Festival and her critically acclaimed run in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, NYC-based comedian and viral sensation Maria DeCotis is bringing her one-woman comedy show EMOTIONALLY UNREASONABLE to Portland this Thursday, November 21! Have you ever felt threatened when someone shows you their engagement ring? Have you ever been to a wedding and thought, “these people should NOT be getting married?!” Maria DeCotis has too, except she’s the one marrying them. EMOTIONALLY UNREASONABLE is an unforgettable hour of stand-up and musical comedy spotlighting her experience as a professional wedding officiant — while navigating her own relationships, identity, and mental health. With powerful storytelling, original music, and punchlines you never see coming, she explores her unique perspectives on marriage, power dynamics, sexism, sex robots, turning 30, and more. Written and performed by Maria DeCotis; directed by Ryan Cunningham Content warning: intimate partner violence/IPV Suggested for ages 18+ “DeCotis is the best new American stand-up I’ve seen since Michelle Wolf. Do whatever you can to see her because the next chance you get she’ll be starring in her own Netflix special.” – Rory Ford, The Scotsman (4-star review) “The songs in Emotionally Unreasonable – in particular the titular number – are the best part of the set, to the point where we start to look forward to the next song as each one ends. DeCotis has a very strong voice and the power that she possesses is incredibly impressive. She performs these big numbers that you’d expect to find on Broadway or in a speakeasy in the 1920s, and are great examples of comedic and musical dexterity.” – Broadway Baby (4-star review) About Maria: Maria DeCotis is a NYC-based comedian, actress, and writer who first went viral during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic with her hilarious videos lip-syncing Andrew Cuomo’s press briefings; she was retweeted by countless celebrities and featured in Rolling Stone, Vogue, the NY Times, and more for her original comedy videos that gave millions of viewers much-needed laughs. Most recently, she completed a critically-acclaimed run during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival starring in the dramatic one-woman play Before the Drugs Kick In as well as her own one-woman comedy show Emotionally Unreasonable. This summer, she went viral again with her powerful Subway Takes interview, hilarious Pope impression series, and Get Ready With Me satire videos.
