Standup comedian and loudmouth New York Jew, Eve Ellenbogen seems to be an open book. In her decade of doing standup, she has spoken to strangers with ease about her sex life, her insecurities, and a host of other topics often considered “taboo.” And yet, when it comes to her childhood, Eve has largely tap danced around the subject, particularly sidestepping her most painful “elephant in the room” baggage, the death of her mother when she was only seven years old. Probably because it would be, like, kind of a bummer. In Dead Mom Stuff, Eve finally aims her comedic lens at her past, explori...

In the end, he left to seek his fortune via the means of stand-up comedy, and - in so doing - incorporated observations and anecdotes related to his teaching career into his act. Eventually, Kevin built up enough teacher-orientated ideas to create and tour a show specifically about teaching entilted 'Not Appropriate' across arts centres, theatres and festivals throughout the land.

Conversational improvisation and carefully crafted comedic bits are intertwined in this collaborative show between Kyle Bedder and Emerson Young.

The result is a chaotic mix of random tangents, crowd participation, and a diverse selection of comedic material. As an autistic dyspraxic queer kid, Sheffield-born Emerson could easily be described as processing the world around him somewhat oddly. From "g...
