Getty Images Comedian Cat Cohen‘s new one-woman show “Broad Strokes” will debut Off-Broadway over the summer.
The musical comedy is set to begin previews at downtown Manhattan’s Lucille Lortel Theatre on July 14 ahead of opening night on July 27. The eight-week engagement will end on Sept. 4. “Broad Strokes” heads to New York following a sold-out run at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
The show centers around Cohen’s near-death experience of suffering a stroke at age 30 caused by a hole in her heart. Equal parts confessional comedy and musical cabaret, “Broad Strikes” is described as a “wildly funny, song-filled one-woman show about mortality, hypochondria and the undeniable thrill of being the main character.” It features music by Cohen and David Dabbon.
