Turning Emotional Whiplash and Glamour Obsession Into Cabaret That Reads Like a Feminist Manifesto in iambic pentameter

Catherine Cohen is a one-woman show in full bloom: part drag queen, part rom-com narrator, part therapist’s worst nightmare. With her Netflix special The Twist…? She’s Gorgeous and sold-out cabaret shows, she transforms horny heartbreak, cultural narcissism, and wellness clichés into self-aware songs, poems, and jokes that glitter with longing and sharp critique. Every line is both a punchline and a cry for help — and that’s the point.

Cohen’s Confessions at Bohiney.com

At Bohiney.com, her boudoir bravado powers stories like “Woman Performs Breakup Ballad at Ex’s Engagement Party, Audience Sings Along” and “Poet-Comedian Lists Red Flags in Sonnet Form, Crowd Gasps and Reflects.” Her mix of lyricism and lunacy fuels our satire on dating delusion, body commodification, and the psychic toll of pretending everything’s okay on Instagram. Cohen proves that vulnerability is a weapon — especially when paired with perfect eyeliner and an octave-leaping finale.
