Everybody Knows But Me
The genre-bending satire of Kevin Can F*ck Himself meets the personal mystery of Inconceivable Truth.
When she was just 17, Holly Brown’s dad was dying of cancer. It looked like life couldn’t get more traumatic, until her dad dropped a bombshell….or two bombshells, really: twin brothers that her entire family kept secret. She was the only one who didn’t know they existed. After his death left her with more questions than answers, Holly sets out to uncover how a secret this big could be hidden, and why the sitcoms that raised her were often the only way to make sense of a life stranger than TV.Press
The Guardian
May 2026Everybody Knows But Me
"LA-based comic Holly Brown hosts this show – equal parts dark and jaunty – about the family secret her father revealed when he was dying, namely the existence of Brown’s younger twin brothers. Drawing on sitcom conventions (her dad worked on Frasier) and with fictional elements, it’s an original, sometimes uncomfortable listen, with real imagination."
