Laugh Whore (Mario Cantone)
Choose options
Comic virtuoso Mario Cantone turned the stage of the Cort Theatre into an absolute, high-octane arena of musical stand-up showmanship in his acclaimed 2004 solo Broadway residency 'Laugh Whore', capturing a major Tony Award nomination. Conceived as a breathless, uninterrupted autobiographical monologue spectacular with music, the performance features Cantone deploying his trademark hyper-kinetic physical delivery, rapid-fire vocal mimicry, and savage satirical attacks to roast mid-century family trauma, corporate celebrity culture, and high-society vanities. Directed by Joe Mantello with a live big band, this residency records a peak comedic milestone.
