Texts From My Dead Friends

A digital native, much of Patrick’s correspondence is through texting. As such every conversation remains stored on a server, endlessly accessible. Patrick would scroll through conversations with the deceased and share the silliest screenshots with those still alive as a way through the grieving process.

Patrick accumulated hundreds of screenshots, and realized this might be something that more people would want to see.

They put these screenshots, along with memes and dumb visual gags, into a 430 slide PowerPoint presentation (don’t worry, it’s only an hour!) and did a test performance at Maria Bamford’s house to a vociferous reception.

And thus, “Texts From my Dead Friends” was born and has since been performed in venues across Los Angeles and now comes to UCB Franklin for a one night only performance.

Don’t miss your chance to see this amazing show before its Edinburgh Fringe Festival premiere!

Reviews:

“Patrick’s show is a rollercoaster of terrible loss alongside big laughs, fast-moving, thoughtful, and I – a hardened comedian –was moved to tears. A work of art.” – Maria Bamford

“Thank you for making a space to talk about this.” – Audience Member
