About This Show
Penny Arcade, the legendary creator of the long-running Off-Broadway hit BITCH!DYKE!FAGHAG!WHORE! brings her latest rant to the subterranean stage at Fez.
Working My Way Down is a 65 minute solo show that promises hilarious and unexpected insights from the highly opinionated Queen of Underground Performance. Nothing is sacred in Penny’s sights as she dissects everything from bourgeois bohemia to Jenny from the Block.
