Rosen’s Review: Brooklyn’s Christine Covode is a one-woman comedic wrecking-crew
The 25 year-old multi-hyphenate is taking the Brooklyn comedy scene by storm. Her latest project – a one-woman show dedicated to her mother – is a revamped version of a very personal journey, beginning this week at the Soho Playhouse.
Last weekend I had the pleasure of sitting down with my good friend Christine Covode, who is quickly making a name for herself in the Brooklyn comedy scene. Her two-woman sketch team Sleepover, with comedy partner Winnie Stack, is one of the best shows on the Brooklyn circuit. But it’s the revival of Covode’s one-woman show (with guests) Dear Mom, Sorry for Being a Bitch, premiered this Wednesday, September 7, 2022 and is generating some serious buzz – it’s already completely sold out, save for one Saturday matinee (9/10). She’s one of the busiest, funniest, most dedicated artists I’ve ever come across.
The following is a conversation about her new show, but also about life, comedy, and Brooklyn.
ER: Ok, Christine Covode. How’s your Friday going?
