“How Embarrassing Is Jesus?” a psychedelic comedy Sat 8/2 at Caveat

A queer psychedelic comedy hour directed by Becca Blackwell. Award-winning and -losing writer Lauren Duca is best known for publishing “Donald Trump is Gaslighting America” to Teen Vogue, and subsequently making Tucker Carlson look like he was going to poop himself on Fox News. After being featured in The New York Times and canceled by Buzzfeed, she ran off to the mountains to join a psychedelic cult, as if leaving the world was a career path. Back at the bottom of the pit of despair, she was saved by a rainbow alien praying mantis named Jesus, and this show has to ask: How embarrassing is that? Inspired by the art of European clowns, a former journalist investigates the meaning of life, posing existential questions like: Can Jesus be saved by the queers… and do we want him?
