Playhouse at White Lake welcomes a one man comedy show this weekend, Brandon Ogborn, Muskegon born "BUBS", now writing out of LA, this a world premiere At the Playhouse.
"Brandon Ogborn's Cry for Help: Life and Death as a Stay-At-Home Dad"
Comedian and playwright Brandon "Bubba" Ogborn presents "Cry for Help: Life and Death as a Stay-At-Home Dad," a one-man show about family, faith, and finding yourself in the chaos. From prank-calling strangers as CIA agents and being homeschooled in a religious cult to rubbing shoulders with Hollywood legends and auditioning for America's most famous sketch show, Brandon's life as a professional oversharer has been anything but ordinary. As a stay-at-home dad to a pair of chaos-creating children, Ogborn recently lost his own father, Bert -- an idiosyncratic and confounding character who spent decades working on his proudest achievement: a board game about -- you guessed it! -- the late conservative radio host, Rush Limbaugh. Wrestling with the loss, uncovering family secrets, and navigating the surprises of middle-aged medical care, Ogborn discovers that parenting and grief are basically the same thing--they're exhausting, disorienting, and everyone has an opinion about how you're doing it wrong. Presented like the world's most emotionally devastating family slideshow--complete with home videos, photos, and the awkward charm of a 1980s living room presentation--Ogborn blends razor-sharp storytelling with just enough vulnerability to make you laugh until you cry.
