“One of downtown cabaret’s most adventurous performers” – The New York Times
MOLLY POPE – brassy belter/whiskey guzzler/benevolent lunatic – sheds all pretense of humility and shamelessly entreats you to adore her for an hour while she prances about making loud noises. Unable to deny that she defines her self-worth entirely via social media notifications, the “viscerally thrilling alto” (Time Out New York) exploits her fragile ego and vocal chops for your entertainment. Expect the unexpected juxtapositions of song and substance alongside a healthy helping of her roots in The Great American Songbook. Over-sharing? Of course. Sing-a-long? Yes. Three encores? Why not.

Molly Pope is a critically acclaimed cabarettist and actress whose shows have played Joe’s Pub, Feinstein’s at the Regency, Ars Nova, The Laurie Beechman Theater and the Adelaide Cabaret Festival in Australia. She has been named a Time Out New York “Top Ten Cabaret Act of 2008” and 2012 and a Village Voice Best of NYC 2011 for “Best Singer To Turn Life Into A Cabaret.” Branded the “kicky, neo-retro cabaret chanteuse” and hailed as “tremendously entertaining” by The Wall Street Journal, she has also performed at The Cafe Carlyle (“Tales From The Jazz Age”), the Afterglow Festival in Provincetown and “Our Hit Parade” at Joe’s Pub. On stage, Time Out New York deemed her “worthy of worship” in her recent turn in the title role of Horseplay: or, The Fickle Mistress at La MaMa ETC (Theatre Askew). Other stage credits include FOUND (Atlantic Theater Co), Dan Fishback’s The Material World at Dixon Place and Wonderful Town at Gallery Players. A graduate of NYU/Tisch, she has also studied acting with Charles Busch (ESPA), Darci Picoult, Louis Scheeder, and voice with Matt Farnsworth and the late Marianne Challis. www.mollypope.com
