In Orin Performs Performative Stand-Up Comedy, Orin – the performer – launches hairlessly into the world of alternative stand-up.

Taking on comedians like Jimmy Carr, Chris Bishop and Elon Musk, he dismantles figures who chase outrage and conflate controversy for substance.

Can Orin's "performative" comedy speak truth to power? Or will his act become part of the same circus he tries to expose?
