    Star Stone Talks Her New Show Coming To NYC Fringe Festival!

    Star Stone is bringing her bold, fearless voice to the NYC Fringe Festival with Clt Cult*, a provocative and absurd solo show drawn from her real-life experience inside a sexual wellness cult. A NYU Tisch-trained performer and Edinburgh Fringe standout, Stone blends stand-up, storytelling, and musical comedy to unpack how empowerment language can mask deeper systems of control. The show dives into her personal journey—what begins as a search for pleasure turns into something far more complex, hilarious, and eye-opening. In true Roundtable fashion, this is the kind of piece that sparks conversation—funny, shocking, and deeply human all at once.
