SELF YELP, Inspired by Real Yelp Reviews, Set for Two NYC Festivals This Summer

Inspired by real Yelp reviews and the people who write them, Self Yelp is a character-based show starring and written by Helene Ellford & Emily Thomas which will have eight performances July 14 - August 1 this summer as a part of both the Midtown International Theatre Festival and the Strawberry One Act Festival.

In this hilarious comedy, we meet the anonymous reviewers who have ranted and raved about everything from a Restoration Hardware store to a City MD urgent care office...and the events surrounding their peculiar experiences.

Helene and Emily are New York-based writers who came up with the idea for Self Yelp one night at Starbucks. After spending extensive time looking for the most ridiculous and intriguing reviews they could find on Yelp and sharing hundreds of Google Drive docs while they worked, they decided on five diverse places and Self Yelp was born.
