Can A Scaredy Cat GO from bashful to brave?
“Suddenly I had developed two things: boobs, and an anxiety twitch. Neither of which I had any support for.”
Comedian/storyteller and life long wuss Erin Rodgers decides to spend a summer doing things that scare her. This includes everything from riding a bike, to hosting a conference, to exploring her blossoming bi-sexuality at a seedy sex club. In the funny and heartfelt TOUGH, Rodgers recounts the mixed bag of her summer experiences through stories. With her signature blend of wit and self-deprecating humour, Rodgers offers the idea that conquering your fears is worth trying - whatever the outcome.
Performed at the Winnipeg Fringe and Toronto Storytelling Festival
