Dylan Mulvaney is used to being screamed at by strangers online. How does she deal with it? By writing a one-person show, of course! "Once you laugh about it, that's when you actually can start healing...," says the actor/internet personality. 

In The Least Problematic Woman in the World, running at Off-Broadway's Lucille Lortel Theatre until October 19, Mulvaney plays 26 characters, including herself, family members, and transphobic interviewers—in a show she calls "the Dollar Store Sarah Snook [The Picture of Dorian Gray], but very pink." 

See her interview with Playbill's Jeffrey Vizcaíno in the video above, where she also discusses working with Six's Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss and KPOP Demon Hunters' Mark Sonnenblick on the show's original songs.

"So often I'm questioning my own self-worth because of what I'm seeing online being said about me. How many times can you be called a monster before you start believing that to be true?" explains Mulvaney of her inspiration for the show. "This is a way to tell my story in the funniest way possible with that vulnerability throughout, that hopefully will make people think about how we're treating each other in person, how we're treating people online, and how we're all projecting labels on each other in really not great ways." 

And for those who think Mulvaney's show is just "some influencer show and stand-up, but uh uh," says the actor. "We got the sets, we got the costumes! There's 40 characters in the show, I play 26 of them." Who plays the other characters? You'll have to go to The Least Problematic Woman in the World to find out.
