INAPPROPRIATE IN ALL THE RIGHT WAYS

 

Written & Performed by Ann Randolph

April 23 – June 18, 2017 | San Francisco
Sundays at 2pm

“Nobody leaves a performance of ‘Inappropriate’ without being moved to laughter; many leave after discovering something about their own life trajectory. It’s a show like no other…It’s part autobiography, part stand-up hilarity, part therapy, and 100% fun.” — Fran Moreland Johns, Huffington Post

Show Description

Inappropriate in All the Right Ways takes us along on Ann Randolph’s wild ride from Loveland, Ohio to a mental institution in Appalachia, to living on a boat off the coast of Alaska pretending to clean the Exxon Oil spill with some good ol’ boys from Louisiana, to a homeless shelter in Santa Monica, to hooking up with Mel Brooks and Anne Bancroft for an off Broadway run on 42nd St, to finding a San Francisco home at The Marsh for her solo comedy show, Squeeze Box.

Things the audience may take to heart from the experiences above include, but not limited to: the importance of being committed to a vision; seizing synchronistic opportunities; engaging willing partners and collaborators; and how to change course upon failure or disillusionment. Just some things for artists and anyone looking to create a new way in the world.
