​​STAND-UP * STORYTELLING * CLOWN

​

What if they lied? What if being a crazy cat lady is AMAZING? Like a modern day Carol Burnett on acid, Candy Roberts spins hilarious misadventures of a Gen-X childhood survivor questioning her notions about getting old. From freeze, fawn & flee, to fuck-you, an autobiographical comedy about the pursuit of becoming a dangerous old woman. 

Absurd and hilarious true stories told through stand-up comedy about Candy's life as a professional clown, growing up unsupervised in the 70s and 80s in a small town in BC, and how these life experiences have influenced her quest for BIG CRONE ENERGY.

 

Let's forget about our expectations about aging. Queenage Wasteland celebrates our elders and reimagines a culture where young folks look forward to silver hair, wisdom and peace.
