Karen Davis: Bitter Pill, Mistook Acerbic for Advil

By Jess Barbagallo

Karen Davis: Bitter Pill, Mistook Acerbic for Advil is a collection of stand-up routines performed by under-received comic Karen Davis between 2010-present, whatever that is. Karen's career began in an apartment somewhere in Brooklyn, probably, and it has ended again and again, intermittently revived by writer/manager Jess Barbagallo and a coterie of enablers. The point being: for the eternally wounded, jokes are not just jokes. They are a broken way of life. This exhausted record includes commentary by amateur critics, inspirational prose, and strange interviews. Karen was able to locate some photographic evidence, but much was lost to disappeared phones. She is grateful to well vodka for making this possible.
