Executive producer Bob Odenkirk and producer Christian Palomares will present comedian Rachel Kaly’s New York theater debut in her one-woman comedy Hospital Hour.

Directed by Emmy Award nominee Chris Fleming, the production will run October 16-November 23, with an official opening on October 26, at Culture Club.

Named one of Vulture’s “Comedians You Should Know,” Kaly was most recently seen on Amazon Prime’s Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat and previously on Late Night with Seth Meyers.

The creative team includes scenic designer Sully Ross, lighting designer Devin Cameron, and sound designer Germán Martinez.

Kaly got her first period the same day Saddam Hussein was hanged. Since then, she’s been to the hospital over 300 times for various psychological treatments. Are these two facts related? Probably. After selling out performances in London’s SoHo Theatre and at Edinburgh Fringe, Rachel brings her critically acclaimed one-woman show to NYC to explain, once and for all, why she’s so mentally ill.
