Details

Crazy Baby tells the story of a performer's hilarious journey from a small town to big lights. It's one part stand up comedy; one part interactive storytelling; and finally proof that Shakespeare belongs to us all!

Join us at Mad Swede Brew Hall for a storyteller's heartfelt journey from small town to big lights! This story follows a kid from a tiny southern Oregon town, who was raised in a place with no roads and no phones (Paradise lodge on the Rogue River) - while navigating learning disabilities; a speech impediment; and getting run over by a tractor. Beyond all of this, they carved out a career in classical and regional theatre and became a professional stand up comic.

“Boice's Hamlet floats like a butterfly and stings like a bee!”
~ Oregon Arts Watch (Hamlet 2014)
“...Boice, meanwhile, creates comic wonders!”
~ PQ monthly
“Ty Boice shows that leaving the familiar can lead to something extraordinary.”
~ Jess Carr, Indy Convergence
“Boice’s story [Hick to Hamlet] had me crying tears of joy and emotional resonance."
~ The Fake Ass Book Club
