Prettiest Girl At The Special School, is comedian Tori Piskin’s first half-hour comedy special. She jokes about dyslexia, dating, insecurities, and growing up in New York City.
She shows how dyslexia doesn’t just scramble up words, but your life. By touching on her charming childhood masturbation problem, extreme jealousy against her ballerina sister, to chasing after f*ck boys with JUUL addictions, Tori shows that the funniest people ride the short bus. And she doesn’t mean to brag, but she was the hottest girl at that learning-disabled high school.
As a content creator, Tori has a growing social media following (40K on Instagram, 55K on TikTok). She recently released a man on the street series, Asking Gen-Z Mid-2000’s Pop Culture Trivia, which has over a million views between TikTok and Instagram. She is an ambassador for Devacurl, and has written, produced, directed and starred in sketch videos for Google, Warner Brothers (Friends 25th anniversary), Sally Beauty, and even started a series around her struggles with Lyme Disease which got featured in Glamour Magazine and Bustle.
Tori also just had her theatrical debut in A Nice Girl Like You opposite Lucy Hale. She has a successful podcast with her mom that is on the top 50 comedy iTunes charts (Got It From My Mama) and it has been featured on The Late Late Show with James Corden and Pix11. Her script KUIRKY, a comedic feature based off her experience with dyslexia, won 1st place in the New York Screenplay Contest and the World Series of Screenwriting. It was also a finalist in Ron Howard & Brian Grazer’s Imagine Impact Writing Mentorship, and made it to the 3rd round of the PAGE International Screenwriting competition.
