Rhea Butcher and Cameron Esposito are show-runners, touring comedians and podcast hosts as well as being a married couple. The stand-ups are currently traveling the country on their “Back to Back” tour, which brings them to Atlanta on Tuesday night.
In addition to performing their own sets, the couple opens the show side-by-side.
“This isn’t a brand new thing, it has roots in vaudeville,” Esposito says. “The idea of a married couple getting onstage and talking about the two sides of their relationship is not something that’s happening a lot today. And it turns out that same-sex marriage is so new that we are literally the first!”
While on tour, the two have been seeking a new home for their television show, “Take My Wife,” whose first season ran on the now-defunct network Seeso. In addition to presenting a comedic take on their lives as comedians and a married same-sex couple, Esposito and Butcher also take pride in the diversity behind the scenes.
