QUEENAGE WASTELAND

Following up from her hit show, LARRY, award winning comedy creator Candy Roberts presents the world premiere of QUEENAGE WASTELAND!

​

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. From freezing, fawning & fleeing, to fuck-you, an autobiographical comedy about the pursuit of becoming a dangerous old woman. 

 

With story telling, stand-up and clown, Candy Roberts flips the “crazy cat lady” stereotype on its head and turns it into something intentional, desirable and, a little feral. She delivers true stories of trauma response patterns with humour, relatability and a truthful absurdity.

Let's forget about aging out of expectations. What does radical acceptance feel like?
