THE EXPERIENCE

Rating: PG-13 / R / Don’t bring your children.

Ready to take the leap into therapy? Great! Because you’re in need and Dr. Carla needs your money. Ask Dr. Carla is a hilarious night of improvisational drag comedy starring Portland’s premier drag clown Carla Rossi—she might not have degrees or qualifications, but she has a full bar, liability waivers, and a couch with your name on it. Joined by her enterprising receptionist Svetlana Trantastic, Carla and Svetty welcome a special celebrity client onto the couch each session so you—and they—don’t have to do all the work. 

Special guests and details will be announced in April!
