You’re laughing so hard at some bits and tearing up in others – not just because the stories are funny or sad, but because she tells them so that you see yourself in them. It’s impossible not to think that the story is really about you.” – Tasleem Thawar, 10 1/2 Stories
I’m a storyteller. I draw from a rich well of experience – including living in a tent for two years, my schizophrenic lesbian mother, almost-killing people with my mind control (NO REALLY) – to draw my audience in and enthrall them with true stories.
I tell stories all over Toronto, including the Toronto MothUP, 10 1/2 Stories, and 1001 Nights. My audiences step into my odd life for fifteen minutes at a time, and sometimes their stomachs hurt from laughing. And sometimes they have to go re-do their makeup because they were crying so hard.
My audiences forget they’re in a public place. It’s just me and you. And the story.
