About the show
Sydnee Washington: My Black Barbie Story is a stand-up solo show presented by AEG Presents in which Sydnee Washington tells her life story from childhood to making questionable decisions as a bottle girl in the iconic nightclubs of New York City, and how she climbed her way out through sobriety and stand-up comedy. Nights so embarrassing that only Black Barbie can reenact them in a stop motion live show. An unhinged night of judgement, laughs and a bit of inspiration. Running 60 minutes at CabVol 1, Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Suitable for ages 18 and over.
Why see this show?
A fearless, funny and personal show that blends stop motion storytelling with stand-up. Sydnee Washington turns her most embarrassing chapters into a genuinely uplifting night out.
