Hamilton's own Shelley Marshall brings to the stage her autobiographical story of a steel town street kid turned world-renowned Comedienne.
In “HOLD MOMMY'S CIGARETTE” Shelley takes her audience on a journey of joy and laughter with moments of shock and awe. It's in the truth of the Characters Shelley brings to life; where tragedy and comedy become one. It's Shelley's openness to explore taboo subjects that still raise eyebrows the reason why she has been described as “sexy, satirical and sharply intelligent.”
This is a story of the letting go of ages and finding truth beneath the layers of lives lost and loves found. Come with an open mind, leave with a full heart.
Named "Best New Discovery" by Now Magazine and nominated as “Best Female Stand Up” in Canada by the Canadian Comedy Awards. Shelley Marshall is a kaleidoscope of comedic talent - from her World Stand Up tour that took her from South Africa, Spain, Amsterdam, the US and throughout England – to her being the Producer and star of the hit touring show The Full Bawdy Comedy Show - Shelley is an artist that captivates all types of audiences with her brave and bawdy style.
Shelley is a graduate of Second City, has been the opening act for two North American tours of Puppetry of the Penis and is thrilled to be bringing to life her one-woman show "Hold Mommy's Cigarette" this summer. You can also catch Shelley on The Ron James Show and the OWN Network in recent television roles.
