Day I was conceived.
'I Come From Death' debuted at Theatre Aquarius' Brave New
Works Festival
Your favourite spooky Auntie debuted an excerpt from her original piece 'I Come From Death' at Theatre Aquarius' Brave New Works Festival Cabaret. 'I Come From Death' is a charming, dark-comedy exploring how one can still live, even after they’ve come out the other side of a death. Or…many deaths. Grief surrounds us all, and the only way out is through. With humour and high spirits, Comeau explores the things that haunt her and invites you to come along for the dark and twisty ride.

Mama City Improv Festival 2020
In March of 2020 the Mama City Improv Festival took place in Cape Town, South Africa. At the time we didn't know that this would be one of the last festivals to take place in person for a very long time.
​
We had outstanding performers from all over the globe. We collaborated, learned, taught, performed. Eva and I are so grateful to everyone who performed and participated in the festival both on and off stage.
​
Eva Gilliam (from Cape Town's The Long Shots), and Ashley produce this festival together from 1/2 way across the world! #MamaCityIF is Africa's first international improv festival - bringing top improvisers from all over the globe to the Mother City!
When it is safe to do so, we will make a plan. Who knows when that will be, but until then, keep on laughing and connecting with each other. Much love.
