Past Event Erin Markey: BONER KILLER

A woman with blond hair that is in a ponytail is standing on a stage with a red, textured wall in the background, talking into a microphone and holding a bottle of water in the air. She's draped in a light blue material that is wrapped around the back of her head and goes down to her knees. She's wearing a yellow shirt underneath and black pants. The stage she is standing on has various instruments on it as well as a baby doll on top of the piano.

Comprised of her signature story-driven stand-up and scored by sensual homemade pop, Erin Markey’s Boner Killer is an intimate musical conversation between what Markey thinks she can’t have and how she’d have it if she could. Driven by Whitney Houston’s lesbian mythologies, Europe™, and a Pretty Woman accident, Markey and bandmate Emily Bate sacrifice their lives to transform personal humiliations into naked feminist hope.

Please note this performance contains adult subject matter and strong language.

This event is co-presented with Carnegie Mellon University School of Art and School of Drama.

Doors open at 7:30 p.m.
