Rejection sucks. But what if we could laugh through the heartbreak? Enter okay, bye!, a bold and witty dramedy that takes audiences on an unfiltered journey through romantic disasters, toxic friendships, therapist ghosting, and the ever-complicated search for identity—complete with one particularly irritated cat. Blending sharp comedy with raw emotional depth, okay, bye! explores the moments that make us question who we are and what we truly want. From heartbreak to healing, from questioning gender/sexuality to simply trying to survive the absurdity of human connection, this show refuses to shy away from the messy, awkward, and sometimes hilarious process of self-discovery.
