Adam Bailey isn’t dead yet, but he’s had his brushes with the reaper. Three times, to be exact.
In this solo show, Bailey shares these stories the grief of losing his mom and others. He does it with a heartfelt reverence for his loved ones and enough rizz (do the kids still say “rizz”?) to fill the stage with nothing more than himself and a chair.
How do we face the uncomfortable reality of being middle-aged and seeing loved ones starting to die faster than any of us would like?
Bailey embraces this sobering season of life with humour and insight. The result is a charming and laugh-out-loud funny celebration of life, love and mortality. Bring tissues!
