OVERNIGHT SENSATION COMEDY ALBUM TAPING
Written and performed by Deborah Kimmett | Produced by Howl and Roar Records
GRAB TICKET FOR May 1st Here:
And May 8th ( Yep a mother’s Day show)
This Mother’s Day, enjoy a matinée on the Danforth. LIVE at the Social Capital Theatre on May 1st and 8th, Veteran Canadian Writer and Comedian Deborah Kimmett shares insights on aging, visibility, and her mother the heckler. Directed by the wonderful Christian Smith. (@Christian and Nat)Opening Act: the brilliant Nichol Robertson- a Toronto based guitarist & banjoist.
Overnight Sensation is a hysterical comedy that finds Kimmett on the eve of her first old age security cheque, asking herself if it’s too late to become an Overnight Sensation. (She may even be pushing the limit on Late Bloomer.) With her signature sharp wit, Kimmett punches up on how we stereotype aging women. The show examines popularity vs visibility and suggests that it might not be popularity that we are all seeking, but to be seen for who we really are… a woman who is sensational.
