Ruby Karp Special ‘I Don’t Trust Adults’ Sets Streaming Premiere Date

EXCLUSIVE: Comedian Ruby Karp has announced that her new special, I Don’t Trust Adults, will begin streaming on Veeps at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET on Thursday, September 10.

Performed Off-Broadway at SoHo Playhouse over the course of six weeks, Karp’s I Don’t Trust Adults tells the story of six different adults who caused the self-described “failed child star” to be forever suspicious of adults.

How many adults publicly wrote hit articles on her? How many theater teachers made her cry? Is Mark Zuckerberg allegedly involved in all of this?

It’s a show for young people who dream of having autonomy, for adults who are healing from other adults, and especially, for the theater kids who never got cast.

The special is written and performed by Karp, directed by Britt Berke, and exec produced by Amy Boland.

Karp is a comedian and writer from New York City who performs all over — most notably, at UCB, where she has been hosting monthly shows since she was 12 years old. Previously, she starred opposite singer-songwriter Charlie Puth in his improvised Roku comedy show The Charlie Puth Show. Also a cast member in Season 3 of Dropout’s Smartypants, she’s been featured at JFL, with additional appearances on MTV and Comedy Central, and was named one of the New York Comedy Festival’s Creators to Watch in 2023.

Karp is repped by Buchwald.
