If you remember me talking about wanting to go see this show back in October, and what subsequently happened that caused me not to be able to go see it, you’ll understand why it was such a shock for me to have received an e-mail from Kim’s publicist this past Friday (1/25) morning, asking whether or not I’d ended up seeing the show after all. I explained to him that I never did get a chance to see it, and he explained that it was being brought back for a return engagement, AND that it was opening that night. Then, get this, he proceeded to offer me 2 comp tickets to see the show! How cool is that?!?
Of course I went!...:)...I took my friend TANN with me, and OMG!, if you remember how funny KIM WAYANS was during her IN LIVING COLOR days, I can tell you that she brings all of that, AND MORE to her one woman show. She is so hilarious. I explained to her after the show, that my friend made the wrong decision in asking me to sit in the front row with her. I almost ended up on the stage a couple of times because I was laughing so hard. You know, when you laugh so hard you start crying? That’s what I was doing. The most interesting thing happened though. During the course of the show, I discovered that not only is Kim funny as ever, but she has many other dimensions to offer as an actor that we don’t get to see too often. Which, hopefully, as a result of this show, we will get a chance to see more of.
So, in a nutshell, her show will take you on an emotional journey of defining moments in her life, which surface as a result of her going on a 10 day Meditation Retreat. There are ups and downs, and ultimately a timely realization, that as an audience member, you’ll be excited to share with her. The show runs through 2/23, at the 2100 Sq. Ft Theater, so make sure you go check it out! I know I’ll be going back again, because I’m certain there are some moments I missed during my laughing fits.

P.S. Tann brought a camera, and we took a picture with Kim. When I get it, I'll post it. Man, I really need to invest in a new digital camera, and soon!...:)...
