We all go somewhere. Some go on a vacation that turns into an adventure (whether or not an adventure was what we needed). Some of us uproot ourselves from the safety of home and family and move to a strange place. Some are just trying to get across town and end up wildly off course. In this variety show, Brad Lawrence and guests explore why they went out into the world when staying under their covers at home was obviously the safer choice.

The wild, witty and just a little bit wet 'The Keepin' Cozy Show with Kitten Solloway' has confirmed the cast for February's upcoming performance on Saturday, February 25th at 9:30pm.
