What do bankers and sex workers have in common?
Apparently, quite a lot.
A brilliant, self-taught financial genius is determined to claw her way into the world of high finance. The problem? She has no connections, no trust fund, and no interest in waiting for permission. So she bankrolls her future the only way she knows how: with a chaotic escort business run out of a tiny apartment, a pile of wigs, and a telephone that never stops ringing.
What begins as a side hustle quickly becomes a crash course in power, persuasion, negotiation, and the art of selling yourself. As clients, careers, identities, and coping mechanisms collide, she discovers that the distance between banking and sex work is a lot shorter than anyone wants to admit. Both are built on performance. Both run on power. Both reward the people willing to play the game.
Packed with outrageous characters, rapid-fire transformations, and more questionable decisions than a Wall Street trading floor, 10 Wigs and a Telephone is a funny, fearless, and occasionally unhinged one-woman comedy about ambition, mental health, survival, and the cost of getting exactly what you want.
Funny. Reckless. True-ish.
