Stories from the Brink!

"One woman’s true tales of near death, unfiltered and in snackable form. Including, but not limited to: war zones, elder caregiving, a white water disaster, incompetent Scottish physicians, and a childhood in the Bronx that involved a Yeshiva by day and bacon and the Guggenheim by night."
From award-winning performer Iris Bahr (Curb your Enthusiasm, Hacks, The Last Exorcism, to name just a few) comes the LA premiere of Stories From the Brink, a wild, touching and hilariously poignant journey through Bahr’s near death adventures, from her fragmented childhood in the Bronx to her time in the Middle East, Asia, South America and finally in Tel Aviv, now taking care of her mother with dementia, and where on October 7th, things come full circle. It is a true tale of adventure, escape, thrills, terrors and evolution through perpetual movement. As always, Bahr masterfully combines humor, pathos and masterful storytelling to take the audience on a journey that is funny, heartbreaking and life-affirming all at once.
