Maybe you’re questioning why some habits just won’t let go or why you’re constantly swinging between workaholic tendencies and procrastination. Excitement, happiness, sadness, and depression…If so, you’re not alone. I’ve been there too—so much so that I created a one-woman show to dig into this question and see what I could uncover.
Through this show (and, okay, a lot of therapy), comedian Kellye Howard started to see that many of our habits are formed in childhood. If your upbringing wasn’t exactly ideal, those patterns can run deep. Sometimes we work ourselves to exhaustion just to escape the discomfort, or we stall and stew in the feeling of not being enough. It’s like two sides of the same coin, both pointing to something unresolved.
This show is Howard’s way of facing the question: Can I give myself grace for the life I’ve lived? Can you? Can we move forward with that grace, or…are we just stuck…being FUQ’n crazy? If you’ve ever wondered the same, join Kellye on YouTube.
Kellye Howard’s one-woman show CRAZY or NAH?! is now on YOUTUBE! But only until Wednesday, November 13, 2024. CRAZY or Nah?! was performed before a live audience at Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago.
