Stand-up comedian, actor & writer Chloe Radcliffe has been riding quite a wave this past year with her comedy chops. Among the notable feats include starring & writing in Steven Soderbergh's web series Command Z with Roy Wood Jr. & Michael Cera, selling out her full-month run of shows at the 2023 Edinburgh Fringe Festival & flexing her improv stylings on After Midnight With Taylor Tomlinson earlier this year.
And now, after meticulously working on her critically raving one woman solo show Cheat over the past two years, she's continuing her impressive rise through her on-going residency going on this month at Upright Citizens Bridgade in New York City: a show you don't wanna miss (Chloe gives good reasoning for it).
Everything to know about Chloe Radcliffe's solo show, "Cheat."
The new show Cheat follows seasoned New York comic Chloe Radcliffe, a serial monogamist who is very bad at one of those words. In this gutsy, honest and electric solo show, Chloe admits to the guilty secret that most people keep forever. Its worth noting that she implores coming to the show doesn’t make you a cheater, rather avoiding might may you way more suspicious.
What started as Radcliffe cheating on a boyfriend for the first time in college in 2009 began a maladaptive pattern of infidelity over the years. She tells Deadline, “I think I learned very early that it would be easier to cheat and get away with it than it would be to end a relationship when it was ready to be ended. And so I developed this pattern of staying in relationships too long and just cheating, rather than getting out of them.” Hence now, she brought forth the show she's performing today after realizing how much her audience surprisingly resonated with her material about cheating each night.
Chloe's residency at Upright Citizen's Brigade began this past week & continues July 18th & 25th in New York City (tickets for those shows are available here). Check out a sneak peek of the show here!
