“It's easy to feel personally overwhelmed by the ill-effects of today's weird-ass times, yet as expressed in Beth Lapides' show's opening tune, "It's not just you." Lapides, Mistress of Un-Cabaret and self-proclaimed New Age Jew, offers audiences reassurance and remedy through her delightfully charming 100% Happy 88% of the Time. Her prescription: be unhappy (12%) in order to be happy (88%). Through perky melodies and autobiographical musings chockablock with catchy Beth-isms, Lapides lays it out: Admit you are not "fine;" alter the "praise-to-blame" ratio in your relationships; and embrace your inner woo-woo. Inspired by eureka moments afforded by hinky Hollywood, adolescent diaries, 2012, chronic back pain, an eviction, and a foretelling dove, Lapides candidly offers her game-plan for going "emotionally green" as the best tool for survival in this era of demise. Won't you ascend with her?”
A. McLean Emenegger, Flavorpill
Comedian Beth Lapides' new stage show, 100% Happy 88% of the Time fuses story, music and spirituality with the trademark unconventional comedic sass she developed while hosting the legendary Un Cabaret. In her new show, Beth leads us boldly into the Now Age. She uses stand-up, original songs and multi-media to tell the story of her eviction and the bigger story of our collective eviction as a culture. With the collapse of the economy and the ecosystem, this show couldn't be more timely or more upbeat!
