Following her bingeworthy hit Netflix series Pretend It’s a City, Fran Lebowitz returns for six performances only to Berkeley Rep where she played to sold-out crowds in our Roda Theatre in 2018. In a cultural landscape filled with endless pundits and talking heads, Fran Lebowitz stands out as one of our most insightful social commentators. With her acerbic views on everything from current events and pet peeves to politics and the media, each performance promises to be unique and highly entertaining.

Author of “Metropolitan Life” (1978) and “Social Studies” (1981), Lebowitz is a NY-based public persona widely known for her acerbic social commentary on American life and is the subject of two projects directed by Martin Scorsese: “Public Speaking” and the Netflix series “Pretend It’s a City.”
