Death Threat: A Cancer Story
In the midst of navigating cancer treatment, a young woman finds herself girlbossing her way through a pay dispute with a third party HR company. As correspondences escalate into useless spirals of email-speak, maintaining composure becomes futile. Then, niceties break.
Death Threat is about illness and sinister bureaucratic systems–and what happens when they take us to the brink. Part stand up, part PowerPoint comedy, it’s a hilarious and gratifying journey for anyone who’s circled back, followed up, or even just lost their shit. Rima Parikh is a standup comedian and satirist whose work has appeared in The New Yorker, McSweeney’s, ClickHole, and more. She is a current headline contributor at The Onion and a former contributor to Cards Against Humanity. She hosts a show called It Girls (@itgirlscomedy) and is a writer for Late Stage Live (@latestagelive), the first gen Z late night show. Death Threat: A Cancer Story is her first solo show.Instagram: @rimaparikh12Website: rimaparikh.com
