Criminal Presents: Don't Worry with Phoebe Judge

Phoebe Judge brings her live show Don't Worry to the Fletcher Opera Theater on Tuesday, November 24, at 8 PM. If you're a listener, you already know that voice—the one that anchors Criminal, the true crime podcast. This is her taking that same storytelling approach and moving it from the headphones to the stage.

Don't Worry is a stand-up comedy show, but not in the traditional sense. Instead of a string of jokes, Judge tells true crime stories about herself and the people she loves. It's a shift in perspective: the crime stories she usually reports on are about strangers, but here the subjects are her own life and her own circle. The team behind Criminal is on board for the production, so it carries the same kind of attention to detail that goes into the podcast.

It's billed as a night of storytelling from one of the most distinctive voices in audio, and that's a fair way to put it. If you've spent hours with her in your ears, hearing her do this live is the point of the whole thing. The show is presented by Criminal, and it's the same voice and the same curiosity, just turned toward her own world.

The theater is the Fletcher Opera Theater, part of the Martin Marietta Center for the Performing Arts at 2 E South St in downtown Raleigh. The show starts at 8 PM on Tuesday, November 24.
