It's Not Show Business and Kelly has dropped her alter egos for this reflective, revealing alt-storytelling show. Evolving from the rehearsed music of her past one-woman performances, she connects stories with an improvised soundscape approach as she regales with tales she's only told at parties to friends. Kelly personally invites you to her party and speaks comedically and candidly about mental illness, bullies, abortion and how 9/11 saved her life. This time it's personal...

Kelly "Killy" Dwyer is a musician, performance artist, actress, storyteller, comedian and artivist. Her unexpected, unusual one-of-a-kind act can best be described as dark comedy punk cabaret using vocal looping, 8 or so instruments, improvisation, audience participation, found sound, toys and apps. This "Devious, charismatic, subversive comedic songwriter" (NY Music Daily) Mixes multi media video work, puppetry, dance and performance art into her electric, edgy shows and will be showcasing her lesser known storytelling skills in her latest vision "Not Show Business". Killy is a 2 time Andy Kaufman Award Finalist, was named "One of Five Female, Brooklyn Artists You Should Know" by Brooklyn Exposed, was nominated by Planet Connections for Best Band/Musician and has received the FRIGID Festival's coveted Audience Choice awards for 2 of her sharp, satirical comedy musicals which have included "Mock Bottom", "Hyster-Killy", "KILL THE BAND" and "My Box". She has been featured on Dr. Demento, Sirius XM, Right This Minute Viral Video TV, on NPR's American Parlor Songbook and 8 national commercials and was nominated for Best Supporting Actress in the feature film "The Crab". Killy co-produced the NY Funny Songs Festival the last 4 years and recently was featured on the Comedy Central Stage in LA. She performs locally in every nook and cranny of this great city, tours her act world wide, and currently hosts her own radio show "Mock-U-Mental" on Radio Free Brooklyn every other Friday from 8-10pm. www.kellybdwyer.com
