ABBY WAMBAUGH: THE FIRST 3 MINUTES OF 17 SHOWS
After waking up in the hospital following a late miscarriage, Abby Wambaugh—still under the effects of anesthesia—made an unexpected decision: to become a stand-up comedian. In this hour that’s both hilarious and deeply moving, Abby shares her 17 best ideas for her first stand-up show.
The First 3 Minutes of 17 Shows allows Abby to explore her talent for a wide range of comedic styles in this variety-style solo show, including potentially cult numbers like « An old man learns parkour » or a very long imitation of the number nine — a framework that touches on gender, pregnancy, grief and creativity, and reveals a deeper story about the value of beginnings that don’t necessarily have a middle or an end.
Fresh off a run of sold-out performances at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and a four-week Off-Broadway run in New York, produced by Jenney Shamash (Hannah Gadsby: Douglas, Something Special, WOOF!), Mike & Carlee Productions (Oh, Mary! on Broadway) and Ally Engelberg (The Other Two, Just For Us), as well as sold-out shows in Los Angeles, London and Edinburgh, Abby Wambaugh brings her award-winning and critically acclaimed show to Montreal for the first time. Don’t miss it.
