About This Event
Born and raised in New York and now based in Los Angeles, actor, comedian and writer Tori Piskin performs Poor Little Rich Girl at New York Comedy Club - Midtown. She was one of ten performers selected for the 2019 New York Comedy Festival's TBS Presents: Comics to Watch and has shared bills with Pauly Shore, Judy Gold and Michael Kosta, credentials that inform her stand-up work.
About Poor Little Rich Girl
At New York Comedy Club – Midtown, *Poor Little Rich Girl* is a stand-up set built around the persona and contradictions implied by its title, reframed through a New York-to–Los Angeles lens. Performer and writer Tori Piskin leads the bill, with featured appearances by Pauly Shore, Judy Gold, and Michael Kosta. The name carries New York cultural baggage, echoing downtown art history and celebrity satire rather than the Warhol-era film it recalls. The critical point is simple: it treats privilege as material, not a punchline, and lets the audience sit with the discomfort.
