Actress/comedian/writer NANCY REDMAN returns to the UnitedSolo Theatre Festival with her 'CLUTTER: I'm Saving My Life and It's Killing Me," a poignant comedy that laughs at obsessions, compulsions and fears, including An Eviction Notice, A Hoarder, Her Clutter, and What Lies Beneath It All. Director is famed actor/teacher/director
Austin Pendleton, who received the 2010 United Solo Best Directing Award for the show. Two performances only, October 21 & November 19, both at 9 PM, at Theatre Row, 410 West 42 Street.
NANCY REDMAN successfully premiered her solo show last year on the United Solo Theatre Festival and is one of a few performers to be invited back for two encore performances this year.
REDMAN has rightfully earned a place in the top echelon of the nation's comedians. Verbally and physically dexterous - part
Lucille Ball and part
Groucho Marx - her performance is an explosion of silly voices, crazy characters and sharp one liners. The native New Yorker was featured on TV's Girls' Night Out and The
Oprah Winfrey Show. She was a two-time prize winner on America's Funniest People, and "warmed up" audiences for hit shows including The Golden Girls and Designing Women. Redman was a regular performer for years at NYC's Dangerfield's and the Laugh Factory, and audiences in L.A. have seen her at the Comedy Store and L.A.'s Laugh Factory. She has opened shows for numerous show business legends, including
Jackie Mason, Charo,
Chubby Checker, and
Soupy Sales, who pronounced her "the funniest white woman in the world!" Her personal career highlight was entertaining troops in the nation of Bahrain at the time of the first Gulf War.

Steppenwolf Theatre and the
Williamstown Theatre Festival, and was Artistic Director of
