September 11th was not funny. But the way in which even something so horrific turned the world upside down was downright ridiculous. The greatest city was brought to a standstill. The Big Apple's otherwise fearless residents were rendered helpless. Reno, an Off-Broadway icon, takes a closer look at the scene around her downtown apartment...and does not like what she sees.
In this rambunctious, angry, and spirited expose, Reno tears down the piety surrounding 9/11 without undermining the serious nature of that fateful day.
Maybe it's her brassy voice and bottle-blonde locks—or her smile that's as big as George Bush's ego. But Reno is special. In her hands, there is comfort in laughing at 9/11, pathos in poking fun at the pathetic grandstanding of politicians, and poignancy in taking a closer look at the aftermath of a day no one will ever forget.
Comedian Reno tells her story from September 11 for the first time on Trio series The Moth.
