Cameron Esposito has announced a new stand-up comedy special titled “Four Pills,” which will debut on the streaming platform Dropout on April 11.
The special, which is directed by Esposito, “guides the audience on a surreal journey through the ups and downs of her bipolar disorder diagnosis, with detours to talk about marriage, divinity school and one extremely unlucky dog,” per the logline.
“When you do this job, the number one thing people will say is, ‘I don’t know how you can do that job. Stand-up is my biggest fear,’ and I’ve always said, ‘Well it’s just because it’s not my biggest fear,’” Esposito says in the trailer for the special. “Like, as a follow-up question for you, how are you able to be alone in a room with yourself?”
Esposito has previously released three comedy specials, including the acclaimed “Rape Jokes,” an hour about sexual assault from her perspective. The special was released for free on Esposito’s website, but viewers could pay what they wish as a donation to RAINN, the largest anti-sexual violence organization in the United States. The special has raised more than $100,000 for RAINN since its 2018 release.
Esposito is also known for creating and starring in the sitcom “Take My Wife” alongside her then partner River Butcher. She starred in ABC’s “A Million Little Things” across multiple seasons as Greta Strobe, and she also has appeared on “The Rookie: Feds,” “Station 19,” “With Love” and “Moonshot.” She also hosted the podcasts “Put Your Hands Together” and “Queery” and wrote a memoir, “Save Yourself.”
