Christine Ferrera: The Shy Vaudevillian

The Shy Vaudevillian is a distinctly modern vaudeville experience where body dysmorphia, lotto scratch-offs and mansplaining collide face-first with a banana cream pie! Join comedian and former ventriloquist dummy Christine Ferrera on a guided tour through the history of comedy with stops along the way to consider why feminism isn’t funny, what made Jerry Lewis cry and what happens when the shyest kid in town lands the lead in the school play. Using cutting-edge 19th-century technology, Ferrera recounts her journey to overcoming social anxiety and confronts her fears about mortality, mental health and Twitter handles.
