Don’t let her size fool you; Whitney Cummings is a comedy machine. The actress, writer, comedian, and executive television producer has made a name for herself as a former cast member of Punk’d, a frequent contributor to Chelsea Lately, a co-creator of CBS’ 2 Broke Girls, and the creator and star of NBC’s recently canceled Whitney.

Named “one of the most powerful women in lowbrow comedy” by Vulture, Cummings’ stand-up gives an edgy unapologetic look into the ass-backward world of dating and beyond. From men and relationships to self-grooming and the inner-workings of the female mind, Cummings’ takes on daily encounters are as honest as they are hilarious.

Cummings takes her one-woman show to Tempe Improv, 930 East University Drive. Showtimes are 7:30 and 10 p.m. Friday, June 14, and 7 and 10 p.m. Saturday, June 15. Tickets are $28. Call or visit www.tempeimprov.com.

Fri., June 14, 7:30 p.m.; June 14-15, 10 p.m.; Sat., June 15, 7 p.m., 2013
