Mary Lynn Rajskub Brings ‘Elvis Encounter’ To Upcoming Arlington Shows

Actress and comedian Mary Lynn Rajskub has piqued fans’ curiosity with a provocative Instagram post promoting her upcoming stand-up shows at the Arlington Drafthouse, where she promises to share details about an encounter with Elvis – but not the one you might be thinking of.

In her recent Instagram post, Rajskub wrote: “Slept with Elvis. Not the dead one. The sexy one. The functioning alcoholic one.” The comedic teaser continues with an invitation to fans in DC and Virginia to attend her shows at Arlington Drafthouse on April 25-26, with the promise they’ll hear “the full Elvis hookup saga.”

The Mysterious Elvis Encounter

While Rajskub doesn’t specify which Elvis she’s referring to, the post cleverly uses the provocative hook to draw interest to her upcoming performances.

This isn’t the first time Rajskub has used her real-life experiences as material for her comedy. The performer, who gained widespread recognition as computer analyst Chloe O’Brian on the hit series “24,” has successfully transitioned between her acting career and stand-up comedy over the years.

From Ctu Analyst To Stand-up Comedian

Rajskub began her career performing as a stand-up comedian before transitioning to television and film. While most fans recognize Rajskub from her role on “24,” where she appeared in 125 episodes between 2003 and 2014, she has maintained a consistent presence in stand-up comedy throughout her career. Her comedic style often incorporates personal anecdotes and observations, making the promised “Elvis hookup saga” perfectly aligned with her approach to comedy.

In a recent Instagram post promoting the same Arlington Drafthouse shows, Rajskub addressed her dual career directly: “Stop saying ‘Wait, I didn’t know you did standup!’ — YES YOU DID. Let’s get with the program.” This playful callout to fans suggests that while many know her from television, she’s eager for audiences to embrace her comedic side as well.

Recent Projects And Appearances

Beyond her stand-up comedy, Rajskub has been keeping busy with various acting projects. She recently appeared in the Netflix series “North of North,” which she has been actively promoting on her social media. In an Instagram post about the show, she described it as “a wild, funny, freezing experience filming near the Arctic Circle with the most incredible cast & crew.”

The series, which is now streaming on Netflix, appears to have been a unique filming experience for Rajskub. In another post, she shared behind-the-scenes glimpses from Iqaluit, the capital city of the Canadian territory of Nunavut, mentioning experiences like trying frozen caribou and encountering an igloo during location scouting.

Rajskub has also made recent media appearances, including on The Rich Eisen Show, where she discussed various Hollywood encounters. In an Instagram post about the interview, she teased: “True or false? I made out with Tom Cruise (in a scene that got cut), got called out by Garry Shandling (in the best way), and may have delivered pizza in a Weezer video while scowling.”

Additionally, fans got a glimpse into Rajskub’s personal space through recent posts showcasing her newly designed bedroom and art studio. Interior designer Dani Alexander created what was described as a “cloud-like upholstered bed” and “meditation corner” for the actress, while another post revealed an organized art studio designed to support Rajskub’s artistic pursuits.

Upcoming Performances

For fans interested in hearing the full “Elvis hookup saga” and more of Rajskub’s comedic material, the Arlington Drafthouse shows on April 25-26 promise to deliver. As she puts it in her promotional posts, these performances will feature “Mary Lynn Rajskub (from all your favorite TV shows & movies) LIVE.” Tickets for Mary Lynn Rajskub’s shows at the Arlington Drafthouse are available now through the link in her Instagram bio.
