Special Taping: Viral Hit ‘The Writing on the Stall’ (SF)

Friday, December 19, 2025 - 7:00 pm | Cost: $30
The Lost Church | 988 Columbus Ave, SF, CA

Event Details

You may know it from these viral videos, but this New York Times Critic’s Pick is a confessional, immersive, and uproariously funny exploration of bathroom graffiti, vulnerability, and our shared humanity. It’s sold out two Off-Broadway runs, the Edinburgh Fringe, and several national tours. This is a show for musical theater kids, comedy nerds, art history buffs, and anyone that’s ever seen something written in a bathroom stall and thought, “Who wrote that? What’s their story?” And now we’re filming it!

“Inventive and hilarious” — David Cross
“If you aren’t worshipping her already, start now” — Ilana Glazer
“Funny and fabulous” — Catherine Cohen
“She’s lovely, but she wears a lot of crushed velvet, and I hate that texture” — Daniel Sloss
“The writing, the songs, the performance, the comedy, the heart—this show has got it all in spades” — Jo Firestone
“She serenades the audience to rapturous laughter and applause” ★★★★★ — Three Weeks
“A very entertaining and unique show” ★★★★★ — AYP
“Beg, borrow, or steal a ticket” ★★★★★ — Edinburgh Fringe Travel Guide
