After two sold-out lab runs in New York City, Isabel Monk Cade comes to Toronto with a limited engagement lab performance of her acclaimed solo show, MY WAY [The morning-after pill, a retrospective], playing December 20th at The Burdock Music Hall.
MY WAY is a laugh-out-loud 60-minute solo show. Meet Izzy: a serial, morning-after-pill poppin' girlie. After a classic Hinge date gone wrong, Izzy finds herself in a roach-infested bathroom, wrist-deep inside her own vagina, clamoring to fish for Bushwick Charlie's condom.
As she ponders how she got herself in this situation yet again, she falls into a vortex of flashbacks. With only three chairs and audience participation, Izzy recounts and relives each moment she's had to take the infamous pill. A darkly-comedic, universal exploration about isolation and sexual autonomy, MY WAY is important for any person with a uterus. And any person without one.
These lab performances on December 20th feature an opening set by Toronto-based comedian Karis Anderson.
