Broke Bitch Got Rich is a darkly funny, critically acclaimed solo comedy— a 'fucked-up fairytale' about breaking out of boxes to find your true worth

Stand-up comic Betsy Cox drags the audience through her batshit Louisiana upbringing, bringing her family to life through punchline-packed character work and raw storytelling. From poverty and a fuckboy father to the humiliation of undiagnosed ADHD, she spins tragedy into comedy that’s brutally honest, wildly funny, and unexpectedly empowering — a fearless solo show that’s as inspiring as it is balls-out.

     At its core, Broke Bitch Got Rich is about resilience: breaking out of the boxes you’re told to fit in, and finding power in your weirdness. It’s brutally funny and deeply human — a   'fucked-up fairy tale Disney would never buy.'

NoHo Arts District called Cox 'a star… one of my favorite shows this Hollywood Fringe,' and praised her storytelling as 'brilliant' and 'reminiscent of Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett, Lily Tomlin and Goldie Hawn.' Broadway World raved, calling her 'riveting, relatable, and full of pathos and self-awareness.'

As a stand-up comedian, I love to create a space where happiness and laughter thrive. But now I’m ready to share a deeper message, and the result is the show you are about to experience. It’s time for me to allow painful, humiliating moments in my life to be what they are. To those that feel lost or misunderstood, I want you to know that you are not alone.

     What if, instead of hiding or feeling ashamed of our struggles, we embraced them? What if we decided to see our perceived flaws or limitations as Superpowers?

     Maybe it’s time to flip the script; to stop letting negative talk define us and start celebrating what makes us truly unique.
