Coor Cohen: Ignorant American confronts the uncomfortable realities that shape modern American identity. Cohen effortlessly blends stand-up with sharp cultural dissection. The contradictions of 21st-century America – its politics, culture and unique ability to export both pop trends and doomsday cults with equal enthusiasm – are just the starting point. In under an hour, she fearlessly tackles everything from education to grocery store mass shootings. Cohen’s show is an unflinching and darkly hilarious look at the self-proclaimed Greatest Nation on Earth and finding her place among its people.
