About STAMPTOWN
Shane Torres performs his sardonic debut one-man stand-up show at Downstairs, presented by STAMPTOWN. In the show, Torres lays out family trauma like bodies at a funeral, framing the experience with the exchange: "So sorry about your mom and dad" — "You should be sorry about everything else." The show runs for 60 minutes, contains strong language and is suitable for audiences aged 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A debut solo show from a stand-up who treats family trauma with the same dry eye he turns on everything else. Sardonic, honest and darkly funny — the kind of comedian who makes difficult material feel essential.
