About Sofia May
9/11 Birds and the Bees is a stand-up solo comedy hour by Sofia May, performed at Flight Club. 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 has processed much of that trauma and is ready to approach it with dark humour. The show takes the audience on a comedic journey through her experience as a tween survivor of history's most outrageous terrorist attack. It runs 60 minutes and is suitable for ages 18 and over.
Why see this show?
Dark comedy that earns the darkness — Sofia May tells a story that is hers alone, approaching genuine trauma with honesty and wit rather than false distance. A singular Fringe hour.
