BEST OF FRINGE – Capital FRINGE FESTIVAL 2023How far would you go to
feel those you’ve lost?
After her beloved father dies, everyone tells Adedana that her father
will always be with her. But she doesn’t feel him. At all. And she
wonders, is she doing her first go of grief right?
In search of his presence, Adedana does the one thing she knows how to
do: plan a grand adventure, a road trip to the Grand Canyon. Trouble
is, she doesn’t have a driver’s license. And so begins the journey
of a lifetime through the American Southwest, where she finds someone
else entirely.
Grief Baby’s First Road Trip is a standup dramedy on the good, the
bad, the funny, and the unbelievable of grief – i.e. the perks and
perils African dad parenting, what people say that is (and isn’t)
helpful, getting more attractive despite being really sad, and other
things to expect when you unexpectedly lose your favorite person.
Prepare to laughcry/crylaugh at the show that earned 4.5 stars and a
“Best of Fringe” designation at its world premiere at the 2023
Capital Fringe Festival in Washington, D.C.
