unstuck

Did you ever worry about stabbing your father in his sleep after watching the film MINORITY REPORT starring Tom Cruise? Ever been afraid to impregnate your own mother with bathtub water?? I'm gonna be real -- if so, you might have OCD. Like me! Hi, I'm Olivia Levine, and I suffer from obsessive compulsive disorder, a mental health condition characterized by persistent intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors or mental acts (compulsions). Or, to put it simply, I'm anxious as hell and I do some pretty strange, unexpected things to alleviate that anxiety. We've all heard about the classic stuff -- the hand washing, the touching, the counting. But most of us haven't heard about the other ways OCD can manifest. Like a fear of accidentally causing violent harm to a parent, or the concern that using a particular word might result in the death of your best friend! The list goes on and on and on, and it looks WILDY different from person to person.

UNSTUCK, written and performed by Olivia Levine and directed by Molly Rose Heller, is a comedic solo show about the intersection of Olivia’s OCD and her sexuality, specifically her queerness. After a successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2024, Levine brings her acclaimed show to SoHo Playhouse for a limited 15-performance run you won't want to miss!

“Olivia Levine breaks the mold in Unstuck, masterfully weaving raw, real honesty and vulnerability with fearless, side-splitting comedy. This is a solo show you cannot miss!”
-CHRISTINE TAYLOR, Actor (Zoolander, Arrested Development)

“The word ‘brave’ doesn’t really do this show justice - nor does ‘funny.’ Olivia can both eviscerate you and make you laugh so hard your face hurts in the span of a sentence.”
- ROSALINE ELBAY, Actor (The Diplomat, Ramy)

“I was in no way forced or otherwise coerced to say without reservation that Olivia Levine’s show is a unique blend of pathos and comedy that mines personal trauma, pain, and healing into a delicious comedy burrito and I want seconds! Also, I use lots of food metaphors.”
-Jordan Carlos, Comedian/Actor (Broad City, Black Mirror)
