Edi Patterson: PLAYGIRL
Edi Patterson: PLAYGIRL is a wildly inventive, one-woman tour de force from the Emmy-nominated star of The Righteous Gemstones and Vice Principals, scheduled to take place at Largo at the Coronet on Wednesday, January 14, 2026. Known for her fearless and physically comedic portrayal of Judy Gemstone, Patterson brings that same “wild-ass” energy to the stage in this completely improvised play, where she single-handedly portrays every character in a narrative built entirely on audience suggestions. Originally developed and showcased through volumes like Pining and White Woman at Dynasty Typewriter, the show highlights her background as a legendary Groundlings alum and a master of character-driven improv. This 8:00 PM performance offers a rare opportunity to see one of modern comedy’s most versatile performers—recently seen in Knives Out and Violent Night—construct a high-stakes, hilarious world from scratch, proving why she is widely considered a “musician of comedy” for her rhythmic and unpredictable timing.
