About A Dramatic Improvement
A Dramatic Improvement presents Making a Show of Myself, a virtuoso storytelling show at Just the Snifter Room that makes the case for storytelling as the ultimate radical act. Described as deceptively amusing, unexpectedly stirring, and ultimately uplifting, the 60-minute show leads audiences from laughter into darkness and back out into the light. The performer is described as the world's only Grand Slam Champion Storyteller at The Moth on two continents. The show contains two mild sexual references and is for audiences aged 16+.
Why see this show?
A storyteller's storytelling show — funny, moving, and genuinely uplifting in equal measure. If you want a 60-minute reminder of why live performance matters, this is a quietly unmissable Fringe offering.
