Betsy gives a powerful, energy filled performance that encapsulates the ADHD version of Cinderella. It’s a rags to riches story that anyone who has dreamed of moving to LA and making it in Hollywood can relate to. It’s an emotional ride that takes you thru childhood adversity to adult adversity while making you laugh the whole way. I loved this show and think anyone who hasn’t always fit it would too. Highly recommend and can’t wait to see what this shining star does next!...

Betsy Cox takes you on a relatable, hilarious, and emotional "rags to riches" journey. Betsy has an incredible energy that radiates the room the moment she commands the stage.

This is a true story teller show that is so detailed and well told that it instantly transports you into the world of the wild characters in Betsey's life. ...

Mark Twain reportedly said: “The secret source of humor is not joy but sorrow; there is no humor in heaven.” Not so with Betty Cox’s Broke Bitch Got Rich because not only does she find humor in her pain, i.e. portraits of growing up in unthinkable poverty in Louisiana surrounded by an absent/occasional pop-in father, a beer swigging step-father, and a protective mother struggling to do her best but expressing it through shark’s teeth. But there’s also great humor in her heaven as she lays out a real life Cinderella/Pretty Woman theme that was and is her life, that which she’d wished for, and has now actually gotten. Easy, right? Wonderful, right? Not so for someone dealing with a late into adulthood diagnosis of ADHD. The lack of focus, the ...

Betsy Cox’s Broke Bitch Got Rich is a compelling full-circle journey of a woman who unapologetically embraces and rewrites her own fairy tale trope—navigating struggles, setbacks, and triumphs to claim her power and success on her own terms....

Hilarious and heartbreaking in equal measure, this piece brilliantly balances a tight rope walk act of a tone, whilst star Betsy Cox puts on the performance of a life!...

Betsy Cox is a powerhouse storyteller and comedian. Her stories of growing up beyond poor from a broken home were both hilarious and heartbreaking. I was fortunate enough to see the show on June 16 from being on the waiting list in a sold out performance. Betsy is instantly likable and relatable as she navigates through her story of never fitting into expected boxes....
