Breakup Addict won a 2023 Whitefire Solofest Best of Fest Official Selection and a Hollywood Fringe Festival, Producers Encore Award. In this uplifting comedy Wilhide brilliantly depicts the journey of a woman who hits rock bottom after having two simultaneous crash-and-burn relationships with unavailable men. She starts attending 12-step meetings for love addiction, only to uncover some much deeper trauma that she has to face as she rebuilds her relationship to herself. Paige brings a comedic twist to some dark and taboo topics, as she brilliantly depicts the ever-humiliating journey of a love addict. Learn More at breakupaddict.com.

Paige Wilhide is an empowerment coach, writer, actor, and serial entrepreneur living in Los Angeles, California. She got her first performance credits at Toby's Dinner Theatre in her hometown of Columbia, Maryland, and went on to study at T. Schreiber Studio and Upright Citizens Brigade in New York City. She was a member of Identity Theatre Company in New York, an organization that provides inclusive performance opportunities for people with disabilities. She also honed her hosting chops as a reporter on The Financial News Network and quickly earned the nickname "Party Paige" as a beloved skeeball and trivia host throughout the city. Her self-development journey started after a breakup in 2016 when she enrolled in a weekend program called The Landmark Forum.

Paige continued studying improv comedy at The Groundlings School after moving to Los Angeles in 2018. Following yet another breakup, Paige launched her coaching business out of a desire to support men and women to find their sparkle again after heartbreak. Her recovery from love addiction was the catalyst and inspiration for her debut solo show Breakup Addict. When Paige is not performing, she’s trying out a new recipe, making video content, hosting karaoke and trivia, and riding her mint green scooter around town.
