Christina Catherine Martinez: MODERN TIMES

MODERN TIMES is a comedy show that refracts the disorder of the democratic experiment through the lens of beloved discount retail chain Ross Dress for Less. Part standup, part degraded performance lecture, all stupid. A surreal and savagely funny portrait of consumerism, feminism, and the burdens of analytical thought. specials guests TBA | join ccm's mailing list: https://forms.gle/8Cy7dicSfKZh13dK8 ~ Christina Catherine Martinez has been described by PBS as “a bewitching hybrid of stand up, clown, and performance artist” and “a polymath of unquantifiable largesse” by BOMB Magazine.
