Blaire Postman: Struggling Chartist

Blaire Postman: Struggling Chartist debuts at the Silver Spring Black Box Theatre on June 30th. The performance combines Postman’s uproarious signature flip chart stand-up comedy pieces with running commentary about her life with long-undiagnosed A.D.D., and the lessons learned where the two intersect.

The show, directed by Chelsea Shorte and presented by Improbable Comedy, is a 90-minute rollicking tour inside the comic’s brain, including the patterns & connections she sees in ordinary things that go unnoticed by most people, and how that ability can make everyday items and experiences entertaining, fun and, occasionally, even profound. Also, there’s singing. And some audience participation. Sound a little scary? Perfect. That’s what makes the roller coaster fun.

Meet the Performer

Blaire Postman is known for her explosive, fast paced delivery, quirky genius, and loud comedy that often spans unusual topics. Since starting stand-up in 2013, she’s been featured by PBS’s NewsHour (“the most DC comedy credit ever”), as well as in the most prestigious comedy festivals, at large, nationally known comedy clubs opening for world-famous headliners, and headlining herself for smaller, cool-kid, indy comedy clubs in every corner of the country.

-----------------

Blaire Postman: Struggling Chartist will be presented live and in person at the Silver Spring Black Box, 8641 Colesville Road, Silver Spring, MD on Wednesday June 30 at 7:30pm. COVID restrictions and protocol will be in place. More information and tickets at www.improbablecomedy.com

Read The Room: A Crowd Work-Only Show

“Some stand-ups really know how to work a room. "Crowd work" is the art of chatting with the audience when on stage. When done right, it creates a conversational atmosphere -- sometimes building a bridge to a comedian's best jokes, and sometimes leading to totally unscripted, in-the-moment laughs.”

6:30pm Doors Open | 7:30pm Show Begins
