“Maximum laughs” — British Comedy Guide
“Well funny... immediate approachability” — The Mumble
American standup comedian Candace Bryan is cursed with unrelenting awesomeness. She was raised in Memphis, the murder capital of America, which is why every night on stage she absolutely kills. Her first words were “Whadduuuup” and her last will probably be “Party on.” She was raised by a single dad, and some say she now has toxic masculinity. Well if being cool-as-hell is toxic, slap a health warning label on her.
In her debut show, Candace talks about the weirdest year of her life: exile in Paris, long distance situationships, foot fetishes, unrequited sexts, and shroom trips. Oh, and the pesky little problem of her mommy issues.
In her sly, deadpan style, she pokes fun at modern dating, life in late capitalism, gender norms, and her own emotional repression. Ultimately, it’s a show about how no matter how far and fast you run from your past, it can define you in unexpected ways.
