From internationally acclaimed performer and Lucille Lortel Award-winner Iris Bahr (Curb your Enthusiasm, Hacks, and DAI (enough)) comes her newest award-winning show, Stories From the Brink, a wild, touching, and hilariously poignant journey through Ms. Bahr’s near-death adventures. This unfiltered show takes you through war zones, chaotic caregiving, a white-water fiasco, bumbling Scottish docs, and a Bronx childhood that blended Yeshiva by day and bacon and the Guggenheim by night!

As always, Bahr flawlessly combines humor, pathos and masterful storytelling to take the audience on a journey that is funny, heartbreaking, and life-affirming all at once. “Bahr has more voices at her command than a symphony has strings.” – Variety.
