Join Jackie as she opens up her comedy basement to reveal a few sordid tales. What happens on tour… should never stay on tour! Armed with her electric guitar, keyboard and kick arse rock star vocals, Jackie is ready to put her foreclosed property, lack of private health insurance and high cholesterol aside and crack open the mini-bar and celebrate!!!

CONFESSIONS OF A CAT LADY (with a side of crazy!) written & performed by Tiffany Anne Price

“Confessions of a Cat Lady” is the ultimate expose. It will have you rolling in your seat with laughter and looking inside yourself by the end. Tiffany inspires audiences to embrace the flaws that make them who they are through reliving the moments in her life you would never want anyone to know about! Jealousy being a recurring theme for her throughout the show. Her honesty makes “Confessions of a Cat Lady” one helluva a brave performance delivered with heart.
Watch as Tiffany confesses about why her theme song is “HEY JEALOUSY”, her total cat obsession, her self-enforced no pooping in public rule, and about how through it all she still deals with the green eyed monster to this day. She takes the audience on a ride that can only be described as gut busting and endearing. From the moment she bursts on the stage to the very end, when she realizes having a nagging flaw isn’t all that bad, it’s what makes you you-nique and inevitably cheesy! Her ongoing battle with envy is just one part of the giggly ride that is…“Confessions of a Cat Lady”!

CRUSHED by Kiersten Lyons
August 3 @ 9:00 pm
August 18 @ 9:00 pm
Theatre Asylum
6320 Santa Monica Blvd | 323-962-1632
The Asylum is located on Theatre Row in Hollywood at Santa Monica Blvd and Vine. Here’s a map: map
Whilst tying the bows on her wedding invitations, Kiersten’s male model fiance walks into the room, slumps in his vintage office chair, forlornly looks at his ironic New York subway system poster and sighs, “I don’t love you…”
Crushed is a comedic look at the question “why is it that the guys you like, never seem to like you back?” Grasping a timeline of crushes dating back to a Han Solo action figure, Kiersten uses what any good girl raised in the 80s and 90s would: an overhead projector and a handful of construction paper hearts she attempts to figure out crushes, heartbreak and why she had so many variations on a bowl haircut.

WINNER IN “BEST OF SOLO” FOR COMBINED ARTFORM’s BEST OF HOLLYWOOD FRINGE 2012 @ THEATRE ASYLUM – EXTENDED RUN IN AUGUST @ ASYLUM LAB!
After some much needed foreplay and a rave review at the 15th Annual New York Int’l Fringe Festival, (www.hyreviews.com/fringenyc2011-reviews.htm#tu-na.) last August, the chance for East to meet West arrived when NYC’s The Women of Tu-Na House opened for business on the FringeCentral Mainstage for three performances.
Now West Coast audiences get four more chances at a happy ending when The Women of Tu-Na House re-opens for business during an extended run at Asylum Lab.
Missed getting a happy ending at the Open Fist? Four more chances when THE WOMEN OF TU-NA HOUSE return to the stage at COMBINED ARTFORM’S BEST OF HOLLYWOOD FRINGE 2012 @ THEATRE ASYLUM and, with a GO from LA Weekly, NYC-based actress NANCY ENG performs her critically acclaimed one-woman show during BEST OF SOLO.
East meets West in more ways than one again as Tu-Na House re-opens for business at Theatre Asylum Lab and you discover what matters most – the size of the boat, motion of the ocean or Jeremy Lin when you enter the surprising, comedic & sometimes sad world of an infamous Asian massage parlor from the women who work there.
Tickets: $12 — limited $6 tickets available (8 per show) at www.Goldstar.com
