Hysteri-KILLY! A One Freak Show
Author: Killer Killy Dwyer
Hysteri-KILLY! is a hilarious, psychedelic, witty wet dream. It's like if Carol Burnett, Andy Kaufman's ghost, the Spice Girls, Sigmund Freud and a banana peel all had the same best friend — that best friend is my freak show. It's a manic-depressive, cockeyed-optimist toy train wreck, with catchy original music that will have your toes tapping, possibly turn you gay and have you leaving the theater with a life changing experience and a brand new car. It's rock and roll meets performance art. It's super heros and super egos. Hysteri-KILLY! Is art imitating art imitating life imitating art.
My show is pertinent to today's times because it is priced for a crappy economy...well, that AND it's a multi-personality, multi-media comment on an over medicated, over stimulated society. It's a silly and surreal observation of ourselves, our stressed and saturated psyches, and our inner children yearning to be free from fear and failure. The audience should expect to be surprised, to laugh at inappropriate things at inappropriate times and to have their inner children experience a play date with Hyster-KILLY!
This show chose to present me. I gave birth to it. It owes me just like any child owes their parent. My parents (its grandparents) don''t approve of my bastard love child and have since disowned us both. That's how bad ass my show is. Good show. Good. (Pats show on head) Good.
