About the Performance
Warning: Strong Language Below
Following up from her hit show, LARRY, award-winning comedy artist, musician and writer, 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 freeze, fawn & flee, to fuck-you, an autobiographical comedy about the pursuit of becoming a dangerous old woman.
Let’s forget about aging out of expectations. Queenage Wasteland reimagines a culture where young folks look forward to silver hair, wisdom and peace.
