DESCRIPTION

The Empty Space is proud to inaugurate our new home with a commissioned World Premiere from the mad genius who brought you Rash and Amsterdam. Bust is a brand-new, semi-autobiographical work built around Weedman’s experiences working as a volunteer advocate in a Southern California prison for women. With one foot in Hollywood and the other in jail, the former Daily Show correspondent careens wildly between the two worlds, taking us on an hilarious, poignant and completely unforgettable ride.

“Lauren Weedman [is] the funniest woman alive.” – Rebecca Brown, The Stranger

“breathtaking… a female Robin Williams.” – LA Weekly
