Agorafabulous Agorathankyoulous

What an awesome time I had doing the first run of my show, AGORAFABULOUS!, at the PIT in NYC. The show grew over time and, I think, got better and better. Now it’s time to go into rehearsals to prepare for Chicago on September 19th, Boston on October 4th, and Los Angeles on October 26th and November 2nd. Tickets for Chicago and L.A. are here!

Those rehearsals, incidentally, will take place at Simple Studios, which is also owned by the man behind the PIT, Mister Ali Farahnakian. I’m going to be spending some coin running around to these lovely cities and buying all their delicious local food and booze, so I’m relieved to have found a rehearsal space in my home city with VERY reasonable costs.

Thank you to the PIT, especially Michael, Teresa, Ali, and Katie!

I was so fortunate to get to rock the show below the Mason-Dixon as I workshopped it for NYC. To that end, thanks so much to Zach Ward at DSI Comedy Theater in Carrboro, NC, where the show had its first workshop. Thanks also to the wonderful girls I met in Austin, including Girls Girls Girls Improv and their Ladies Are Funny Festival and Danna Williams. Thank you to the amazing improv troupe The Have Nots of Charleston, SC, who let me perform at the incredible and inspiring Theatre 99! Thanks to Ces for enduring endless rounds of me reciting monologues and pacing back and forth nervously.

Big gay thanks are in order to Whitesmith Entertainment for rocking shit to the fullest. They have a fabulous roster of entertainers of many types, and if you are a rich kid booking your bar/bat mitzvah you should totally hire all of us to perform for you and your many friends. This is especially true if you think you might grow up to be homosexual. Thanks to Keri, Emily, Katrina, Lydia, Sarah, and everybody else!

Thank you to Richard Beowulf Jones for tech awesomeness and for great suggestions!

Thanks to all the folks who came to see the show multiple times, most especially John, who gave me great feedback and helped me make the show better.

Thanks are always due to Mom and Dad and Katherine and Alex, without whom this show would not exist because I’d probs be dead and stuff. Although I like to think I’d be doing some kickass one-woman performances in the afterlife. Maybe Dead Me would be more into puppetry than stand-up and storytelling, but whatevs.

And THANK YOU to everyone who came to the shows in NC, TX, SC, and NYC!

On to Chicago, Boston, and L.A. …
