lizzy sunshine
When her partner doesn’t show, Lizzy Sunshine makes the audience her co-star. She promised a two-person show. She got... you.
One woman. One missing co-star. One very involved audience.
Following a 5-star run at Edinburgh Fringe and a sold-out run at The Den in Chicago, Lizzy Sunshine is BACK at Soho Playhouse with a UK tour on the horizon!
Liz Coin (NBC, Prime, Second City) charms in this fast-paced hour packed with gags gone wrong, big characters, and a performer who believes positivity can solve anything — whether it should or not. You will sing along. You might end up onstage. You will definitely be part of something you didn’t see coming.
This chaotic, feel-good spectacle hides something real just beneath the surface. Beneath all that sunshine, there’s a real reason her co-star is missing. And when the show finally goes there, the room goes with it.
A portion of Lizzy Sunshine ticket sales is donated to Nar-Anon and other family support groups, as well as to free improv workshops taught in substance abuse rehabilitation centers. Laughter is the best medicine.
Audiences and critics are raving:
"You just have to see it"
"A smart piece of theater masquerading as a clown show"
"Relentlessly optimistic, positively brilliant"
"Coin is a master of comedy and audience engagement"
"How does one person have that much energy"
"I'll be thinking about this one for awhile"
