Manifest Pussy Tickets

Manifest Pussy is a spellbinding, intimate 80-minute show created and performed by Shakina Nayfack (the artist behind Manifest Pussy, also known as a Lilly Award recipient, TRU Humanitarian Award honoree, and a two-time Drama League fellow). The performance blends rock concert energy with stand-up, memoir, and theatre, featuring original songs co-written with leaders in contemporary musical theatre such as Shaina Taub, Michael R. Jackson, Joe Iconis, Zoe Sarnak, Julianne Wick Davis, Lauren Marcus, Nikko Benson, Sam Salmond, Teresa Lotz, and others. This is storytelling through music, with sharp wit, honesty, and unmatched stage presence. The show runs about 80 minutes and centers on personal narrative, creative collaboration, and the power of performance as transformation. As of 2025, Manifest Pussy is extended through Oct 19 at Diversionary Theatre in San Diego, offering both evening performances and select matinees for audiences in Southern California.
