Friends! My One Woman Show, A Little Bit Much, is on the move!
I’ve been calling this show my mid-life crisis project. It’s about coming of age in the 90’s and coming of middle age right now. It’s about the stories we internalize about who we are. It’s about self-perception, patriarchal deception and the identities we fiercely try to shed. It’s about waking up, growing up and throwing up the domestication we’ve been force-fed.
It’s about binging self-help and how late-stage capitalism ruins every party it wasn’t invited to in the first place. It’s about love, loss, cultural expectation and the cosmic joke of pursuit, with just enough basic bitch dick jokes to help the medicine go down and distract you from your climate anxiety.
It’s a little bit touching, a little bit raw, a little bit irreverent, a little bit relevant, a little bit illuminating, a little bit raunchy, a little bit infuriating, a little bit heartbreaking, a little bit connecting, a little bit inspiring, and really quite funny.
It’s A Little Bit Much.
I perform at the Fringe Festival in Calgary from August 2 - 9. GET YOUR TICKETS HERE.
If you haven’t seen the trailer yet, you can get to it by clicking the ticket link above.
You know what would thrill and delight me? If you came to the show on August 2nd or 3rd. One of those shows will be recorded for On-Demand audiences and the fuller house the more muchness for all! Please spread the word if you’re in or around Calgary, BC!
For all you lovelies who keep emailing me asking when this will be available online…
YOU CAN PURCHASE ON-DEMAND TICKETS! Weeeeeeeeee! This means if you’re chompin’ to see my show but can’t get to a live one, and you want to lounge in your undies with snack crumbs tumbling down your torso, you can watch this baby from the comfort of your favourite device!
A Little Bit Much ON-DEMAND is available to watch from Wed Aug 7 - Sat Aug 10. GET YOUR TICKETS HERE.
I have a fun little marketing idea and I need the help of the locals. One of the monologues in my show shares all about my first career as a hair stylist and salon owner. I’d love to connect with rad hair stylists and salons in the Calgary area and offer some comp tickets to those who will spread the word and share with their clients.
If that’s you, or you have recommendations for salons/stylists, can you please comment on this post or forward this to them?
Here are some of the reviews from my run in Ottawa last month…
“It’s not just that Chela Davison manages to express out loud thoughts and experiences that i had had myself, it’s that she also said the things I hadn’t thought but should have. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “- Laura N
“If you’re a woman over 40 — or you love someone who is — rush out and get a ticket to this show. Funny, truthful, and totally relatable.” - Kate Jaimet
“This was such a good show. Funny, emotional, empowering, relatable. A great speaker, this performer is worth listening to.” -Sarah Silman
“Chela Davison is hilarious, connecting with the audience immediately and bringing us along for the emotional ride in a memoir of someone who is (absolutely not) a little bit much.” - Dan
“Chela takes you on an emotional journey with her honest, vulnerable, and well-written script. Her performance is engaging and inspiring, which goes hand in hand with the important topics she discusses with us.” - Yan Simon
