Description

Struggling Chartist is a 90 minute solo show featuring the comedy and quirky flip chart comedy of comedian Blaire Postman. Blaire Postman: Struggling Chartist debuts at the Silver Spring Black Box Theatre on June 30th. The solo performance combines Postman’s uproarious signature flip chart stand-up comedy pieces with running commentary about her life with long-undiagnosed A.D.D., and the lessons learned where the two intersect. The one person show, directed by Chelsea Shorte and presented by Improbable Comedy, is a 90-minute rollicking tour inside the comic’s brain, including the patterns & connections she sees in ordinary things that go unnoticed by most people, and how that ability can make everyday items and experiences entertaining, fun and, occasionally, even profound. Postman, a solid member of GenX, describes how she learned to work with - and love - her “tornado” brain, instead of trying to fight or control it, as was expected growing up in the 1970’s & 80’s (“before A.D.D. was an official thing,” she notes). Also, there’s singing. And some audience participation. Sound a little scary? Perfect. That’s what makes the roller coaster fun. Blaire Postman: Struggling Chartist will be presented live and in person at the Silver Spring Black Box, 8641 Colesville Road, Silver Spring, MD on Wednesday June 30 at 7:30pm. COVID restrictions and protocol will be in place.
