Broke Bitch Got Rich (Stand-Up Comedy)

Stand-up comic Betsy Cox drags the audience through her batshit Louisiana upbringing, bringing her family to life through punchline-packed character work and raw storytelling. From poverty and a fuckboy father to the humiliation of undiagnosed ADHD, she spins tragedy into comedy that’s brutally honest, wildly funny, and unexpectedly empowering — a fearless solo show that’s as inspiring as it is balls-out.

At its core, Broke Bitch Got Rich is about resilience: breaking out of the boxes you’re told to fit in, and finding power in your weirdness. It’s brutally funny and deeply human — a “fucked-up fairy tale Disney would never buy.”

NoHo Arts District called Cox “a star… one of my favorite shows this Hollywood Fringe,” and praised her storytelling as “brilliant” and “reminiscent of Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett, Lily Tomlin and Goldie Hawn.” Broadway World raved, calling her “riveting, relatable, and full of pathos and self-awareness.” NOHO Arts Review, Broadway World Review
