About this event

Monkeys on My Back & Everywhere Else! is created by Debbie Kasper, the award-winning and Emmy-nominated comedian. After losing everything (including her sanity), she's back with a vengeance and her KICK-ASS one woman show! 

Debbie delves into her somewhat devastating yet mostly hysterical life of being a reckless drunk, drug/sugar addict, obsessive-compulsive, and all-around mess. “There isn’t much I’m not addicted to—except maybe liver and exercise.”

Kasper takes us with her on a winding road of self-love and healing, just looking for a little self-esteem along the way, while battling her inner demons and outer grief. But even with over 30 years of recovery under belt, Debbie finds herself in a new obsession: HER SHOW! 

As Debbie is compulsively re-writing the very show we are watching she asks herself, “can I find love (even if it is just with myself)? Can I get off TikTok? Will I ever finish this DAMN SHOW?”

If you’ve ever wondered what makes an addict tick, come crawl into Debbie’s mind – you’ll be highly entertained.

You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll want to take her home with you!
