Something To Look Forward To

Celebrated comedian and storyteller Joanne O’Sullivan (Patrons’ Pick 2017, NOW Magazine’s Outstanding New Plays for She Grew Funny) returns to the Fringe with a brand-new solo comedy as part of her ongoing quest to find something to look forward to—after seven years of profound loss, professional pivots, and a global meltdown.

Joanne tells the story of how a triple dose of grief sent her back in time - chasing old standup comedy dreams in the not-even-remotely-healing open mic nights of her youth - before vaulting her forward to the present, back to the thing she loves most: storytelling.

This inimitably funny, one-of-a-kind, performer is hoping maybe, just maybe, this show is the thing she’s been looking forward to all along.

O’Sullivan teams up with acclaimed Emmy Award-winner Allana Harkin (Full Frontal with Samantha Bee) as director and dramaturg.

Proudly part of VideoCabaret’s first year as a Fringe satellite venue.
