What the hell? Dirt roads, livestock, perimenopause, and a whole lot of deafening silence are the backdrop for the stories. Shamas has been hailed as one of Canada's top comedians. This show has sold out across Canada, and won 2003 HBO Comedy Outstanding Theatre Performance in Aspen, Colerado

In 1987, an extraordinary talent was let loose on the Canadian theatre and comedy scenes.  From very modest beginnings at the Edmonton Fringe Festival, Sandra Shamas has gone on to become one of the most popular performers on major stages across the country. Sandra’s first show, My Boyfriend’s Back and There’s Going To be Laundry was a hit from its very first performance and spawned the Boyfriend trilogy, performed across Canada and at the prestigious Old Vic Theatre in London, England. The trilogy was published in book form and was nominated for the Governor General’s Award. Sandra’s second trilogy, Wit’s End, has also been seen across Canada in record-breaking runs. The second part of this trilogy, Hearts Desire, was featured at the H.B.O. Comedy Festival in Aspen, where it won the Best Theatrical Performance Award.

At Frigid New York, Sandra will perform the “best of” her Wit’s End trilogy. Freshly divorced, about to turn forty and never having lived outside a city, Wit’s End is the name of the farm Sandra moved to. The trilogy examines Sandra’s education on rural life, hitchhiking the hormonal highway and making peace with her own nature in the middle of nowhere.
