Solo musical comedy on surviving a stroke, blending confessional storytelling and cabaret.
After experiencing a stroke at age 30 caused by a previously undetected heart condition, a comedian reconstructs the event through humor, music, and personal reflection. The solo performance examines mortality, medical anxiety, and identity through a mix of storytelling and original songs, structured as a cabaret-style confessional.
The piece is written and performed by Cat Cohen, a comedian known for her musical comedy work and appearances on television and live stages. Her style blends stand-up, character work, and original music, forming the foundation of this one-woman production.
The show is recommended for audiences ages 13 and up. It is presented at the Lucille Lortel Theatre as a limited engagement.
