Kochi

Older and Angrier

Express News Service

KOCHI: With successful, sold-out runs in New York, Mumbai, Delhi, Gurgaon, Chennai and Bangalore there is no doubt that Radhika Vaz’s one-woman comedy show ‘Older. Angrier. Hairier’ is a hit.

The over-the-top funny and irreverent comedian focuses her wit on the humiliations of aging in a culture that worships youth, her decision not to have children and the stress that accompanied this choice, as well as her constant struggle to overcome her obsession with housework.

While tackling complicated issues isn’t new to this politically incorrect comic, she has outdone herself with ‘Older’ by harking back to the classic comic styles of comedians like George Carlin or Bill Hicks. “If something seems unfair I am going to tell you,” says Radhika.

She trained with members of the Groundlings School, Los Angeles, Improvolution, New York, where she is a visiting faculty member, Upright Citizens Brigade, and the Magnet Theatre, both in New York. This talented artist has just signed a book deal with Aleph for a non-fiction book of short stories that will be published in April, 2015.

Radhika’s show will be staged at the JT Pac, Kochi, on September 28, at 7 p.m. The duration of the show is 60 minutes. Entry strictly for age group above 15 years. For more details and reservations contact 8086881681   / 9349528057   / www.jtpac.org
