What I liked
In Broke Bitch Got Rich, Betsy Cox doesn’t just reclaim the rags-to-riches trope—she drags it into the present day, dresses it in sequins, and hands it an audience. This one-woman show is a raw, hilarious, and ultimately triumphant chronicle of one woman rewriting her own narrative with grit, wit, and unapologetic glamour.
Cox delivers her story like your favorite aunt at brunch—unfiltered, wise, and “what did she say?” She invites the audience into her world with warmth and wild-eyed honesty, pulling no punches as she maps the road from breakdowns to breakthroughs. But make no mistake: this is not just a highlight reel. It’s a full-circle heroine’s journey with pit stops in childhood trauma, reinvention, and hard-earned healing.
The show walks a delicate line between stand-up, storytelling, and motivational mic-drop. And Cox balances it all with the kind of presence that gives you no choice but to root for her.
What I didn't like
A bigger stage.
My overall impression
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.
