NYC: BRIDGET EVERETT'S ROCK BOTTOM AT JOE'S PUB

The ferociously talented Bridget Everett wrote the show, a chardonnay-soaked journey through the highs and lows of her life, with the Tony Award-winning songwriting duo Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman. Longtime collaborators and friends Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz and Matt Ray contributed music as well. In it, Everett shares intensely personal moments next to wildly hilarious ones, baring her heart and much more to her audiences. "Rock Bottom" features new original songs written with Shaiman, Wittman, Ray and Horovitz, plus favorites from Everett's monthly sold-out show with the Tender Moments. There is a $35 cover.
