Whitney Cummings on Tour
Whitney Cummings is a Los Angeles-based comedian, actor, writer, producer and director. Best known for creating and starring in the NBC series "Whitney," she also co-created and co-wrote (with Michael Patrick King) the Emmy-nominated CBS comedy series "2 Broke Girls."
In November of this year, Whitney launched her own podcast titled "Good For You." Whitney has a lot of questions for a lot of different kinds of people. She also has opinions. And a robot. "Good For You" is self-produced by Whitney alongside Made By Super and records in Los Angeles. New episodes are released on Wednesdays.
Whitney debuted her 4th stand up special, "Can I Touch It?" on Netflix on July 30th. The special includes Whitney's signature incisive commentary on gender dynamics is more relevant than ever. Filmed at the Sidney Harmon Hall in her hometown, Washington, DC. The special touches Whitney's take on everything including her signature incisive commentary on gender dynamics and why we should give sex robots a chance.
Up next, Whitney will star and executive produce a new half-hour comedy for Amazon, "Good People" which she co-created alongside Lee Daniels. The show revolves around three generations of women working in the ombudsman's office of a college that navigates the current cultural climate, the concept of feminism across different generations, and the struggle to reconcile socially constructed ideas with current ethical views regarding complex issues such as sec, race, class and gender.
In October 2017, Whitney debuted her novel "I'm Fine...And Other Lies," which details her brutal anxiety and codependency disorder, written with her trademark entertaining wit, humor, and honesty. That same year, Whitney made her directorial debut with the feature adaptation of Louann Brizendine's best-seller, "The Female Brain". In addition to co-writing and directing, she stars alongside Sofia Vergara, James Marsden, Lucy Punch, Toby Kebbell, Cecily Strong, Beanie Feldstein, and Blake Griffin. "The Female Brain" comically details the inner workings and complex power of brain chemistry among couples at different stages of their relationships. The film premiered at the Los Angeles Film Festival and was distributed by IFC.
On the big screen, Whitney was last seen in "Unforgettable" for Warner Bros. Past feature film credits include "The Wedding Ringer," "Made of Honor," and "The Ridiculous Six." Whitney has appeared in such series as "Undateable," "Workaholics," "Maron" and the Comedy Central Roasts, which have solidified her presence in comedy television.
Her first one-hour stand up special, "Money Shot," premiered on Comedy Central in August 2010 and was nominated for an American Comedy Award. Her second one-hour stand-up special, "Whitney Cummings: I Love You," debuted on Comedy Central in June 2014. Her third one-hour stand-up special "I'm Your Girlfriend," aired on HBO in 2016.
One of the best comedy shows I've been to. Whitney is fantastic and my face hurt from laughing so hard. Highly recommend.
Loved Whitney & Steven & Ian. Whitney’s set was hysterical. Did not need the extra time with Bethany or the singing.
Her set was great - she was excellent But her openers were not polished enough And the ending part that was unscripted with Bethany Frankel and the Rent songs was a complete waste of everyone’s time - she should cut that part if she wants to end on a high not a low
I am a big Whitney Cummings fan, have watched all of her specials, her tv show WHITNEY and 2 Broke Girls. I also listen to her podcast. I was really looking forward to seeing her live for the first time. The opening acts were just ok, not terrible, but not exactly good either. Did love that she is helping Grace O'Malley get her live Stand Up career going, really cool way to give back. And I never go to a show expecting the opener(s) to wow me, so that wasn't a deal breaker. Whitney came out, and the first part of her show was fine, what I came to see. Wasn't her best, wasn't her worst, but acceptable. But then, it went downhill, in a major way. She cut her set shorter than I would have expected and brought Betheny Frankel out on stage for some weird Q & A thing. People began streaming out of the theater, it wasn't what anyone came to see, and for the most part it wasn't even funny. Some people were loudly booing (I thought that was very rude) I stayed because she did say there would be a second surprise. I thought maybe the 2nd surprise would make the Betheny Frankel thing make sense. It didn't. She then brought out some Broadway singer to help her lead a sing a long for some of the songs from the Broadway show "RENT". Even more people started leaving. I stayed for a little bit, but then, I too left. By the time I left (was sitting in the loge) there were only about 10-20 people left up there. I am a big fan of Stand-Up Comedy and regularly go to see live shows. This was, by far, the most disappointing one I have seen. She kept saying performing at The Beacon Theater was a life-long dream of hers, well, that was a really strange way to show it. I was just so disappointed. I appreciate people taking risks in their shows to keep things fresh, but this one just didn't pan out. If this is how this whole tour is set up, I would recommend skipping it and saving your money. Just not something I think most Stand-Up fans will enjoy. I still love Whitney, and will definitely continue to support her. Just didn't care for this one.
Absolutely phenomenal! So much energy has such a presence on stage. I wish you would go longer than an hour. This is one of the best venues in Houston to see a comedy show. Absolutely love attending 713 music hall.
Mrs. Cummings couldn’t be anything other than a delight. Thank you!!!
Look it here… Whitney is just the best there is plain and simple! She wakes up everyday and pisses excellence! Funniest female comedian of all time! Best this is, best there was and the best there ever will be! ?? ?? ?? ?? ??
Upgrade to the tables on the 2nd floor. Order food , drinks. Great views. Whitney was very funny, it was a great time.
Great show and first time at venue. Really enjoyed it! Will be back forsure!
This was my first time seeing Whitney live and she absolutely destroyed. It was nonstop laughter covering a variety of topics, interacting with the crowd. After the show she stayed on stage and did selfies with the audience. She was great.
