I...(a life) tells the story of... who knows? It's all made up! All patter songs, show-stoppers and ballads...All whimsical recollections, zany anecdotes and sob stories...All casually-dropped names, humble-brags and oversharing...Made up. From scratch. On the spot. Based on audience suggestions.It's like no cabaret you'll ever see... or will ever see again. "It's a high-wire act of Musical proportions!"
