About Amy G
Best known and loved by NY audiences as the roller skating comedienne
from Absinthe 2006 and Cirkus Inferno at the New Victory Theatre, the
irrepressible Amy G now ventures out on her own with the premiere of
her new show, Round She Goes.
A whirling comedic tour de force, Round She Goes follows Amy
and her attempts, as a recovering perfectionist, to find love and
enlightenment within the circles in her life.
Round She Goes is a revolutionary cabaret comedy in every
sense accompanied by a mostly live, original musical score composed
and performed by Amy G (on ukulele) and accompanied by Jonathan Keay
(double bass).
With so much spin, where she stops nobody knows.
Amy G, renowned in YouTube circles as the Kazoo Lady, has been touring
the globe for eight years doing revolutionary cabaret comedy. Based in
Brooklyn, NY, but rarely there, Ms. G is also well known to
Spiegeltent regulars around the world as a slapstick sweetheart. She
finds great relief in the ridiculousness of her life.
"I am a highly specialized goofball. But like everybody, I spend half
of my time rolling around giggling, and the rest totally freaked out,
taking myself too seriously. So, I promote absurdity, because to my
mind, it is the key to facing our most difficult challenges. But the
real trick is to make philosophical points while tap-dancing on roller
skates."
About Round She Goes
Round She Goes is a saucy and skilled cabaret performance
with the added value of some seriously penetrating absurdity.
Round She Goes takes on perfectionism as inherently flawed.
We are hypnotized by repetitive lifestyles. Regular cycles are
comfortably familiar, but also mind numbing. It's the inevitable (yet
usually
stressful) accidental breaks in our routines: the foul-ups, breakdowns
and screw-ups that let nature, inspiration and love into our lives.
So why are we still so obsessed by perfection?
Round She Goes will skate around the question to reveal the
answer.
Or as Amy says, "It features physical comedy, a bunch of cheeky songs
that I wrote, bad-ass roller-skating, existential examination, an
audience make-out sesh (bring a date, or test your luck!), and some
seriously penetrating absurdity."
