About this show
Where were you on 9/11? Sitting in school? Sitting on the toilet? Nowhere of note? Well, Sofia May was running – for her life – from the dust cloud and debris as the World Trade Center toppled next to her school in downtown Manhattan. Now, as an adult, she's processed a lot of that trauma, continues to grieve and is ready to get hilarious. In this award-winning, critically acclaimed stand-up solo hour, Sofia May takes the audience on a gruesome comedic journey of her experience as a tween survivor of history's most outrageous terrorist attack.
