[PHOTOS + VIDEO] #RHOA: Kandi Burruss Celebrates Essence Cover Release
RHOA cast member, Kandi Burruss, celebrated her Essence cover release, this past weekend, at Revel Nightclub.
Words of expression were given by Todd, Don Juan, and Mama Joyce. If that wasn’t enough to celebrate, it was announced that Kandi just landed a role as Mama Morton on the hit Broadway play Chicago.
While we were in the midst of honoring the mogul, you know there was some drama brewing, per usual.
Chile, I don’t know what the fuss was all about but there was something definitely going on. The ladies were outside in a huddle discussing something and it appeared to be serious. *side-eye*
Obviously we couldn’t hear word for word, but it doesn’t take a scientist to figure out that there was a problem and Eva had a lot to say.
Oh, did I mention that Cynthia was there with her new ‘friend’ and peter was in the mix?
I still want to know why Kenya’s husband wasn’t there?!
Anyway, peep these photos and vid, chile.

What do cowboy dicks, milk pistols, and public toilet walls have in common? They all find a strange kind of poetry in The Writing on the Stall, the wildly inventive musical comedy from US performer Caitlin Cook, landing in the UK this summer. After sold-out runs Off-Broadway, at Edinburgh Fringe, and in London, the New York Times Critic’s Pick returns for a short UK tour—playing Brighton’s Komedia (31 May & 1 June) and Soho Theatre, London (4–7 June).
Set entirely in a public bathroom, The Writing on the Stall is anything but private. In this whip-smart and wickedly funny one-woman musical, Cook dives into the scrawled messages and mysterious wisdom etched on cubicle walls and turns them into something bold, bizarre, and unexpectedly moving. The songs are catchy, the jokes are razor-sharp, and the show isn’t afraid to get its hands dirty—literally.
Armed with a guitar and a knack for digging gold out of the obscene, Cook crafts a genre-defying hour that’s part stand-up, part cabaret, and all catharsis. This is confessional comedy with clever hooks, pitch-perfect melodies, and enough surprises to keep your eyebrows permanently raised. Expect satire, sincerity, and some surreal props—rumour has it a pair of slingshotted knickers makes a cameo.
Caitlin Cook isn’t your average musical comic. She’s Oxford-educated, New York-hardened, and streaming in the tens of millions. She’s also collaborated with some of comedy’s finest, directed offbeat hits, and performs as one-half of the musical duo 2/3rds of a Threesome. With this new UK run, she’s not just touring a show—she’s building a movement that blurs the lines between comedy, theatre, and performance art.
If you missed her during her Edinburgh frenzy, this is your chance to catch the musical everyone’s been whispering about in pub toilets and shouting about in five-star reviews. You might come for the laughs, but you’ll stay for the songs that (fair warning) may live rent-free in your head for months.
