About this Event

From nationally-renowned performer Iris Bahr (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Hacks, Dork Whore, Machu My Picchu) comes a wild, touching, and hilariously poignant journey through Bahr’s literal and figurative near-death adventures. From her fragmented double life growing up in the Bronx and her backpacking escapades around the globe, to back home again where she finds herself caregiving for both her child and her mother—a true tale of adventure, escape, family, guilt, and evolution through perpetual movement. Hosted by Shana Cohen, with an opening story from Elise Cole.
