A stand-up/storytelling show about one woman’s journey with breast cancer…with an accompanying slideshow that includes drawings of boobs.
Comedian Julia Johns was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2022, and amid the challenges of her double mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiation therapy, she found solace in writing and performing comedy about it. She found humor in cancer, and set out to make other people see it too. In her one-woman show, she takes the audience on her journey from finding a lump to survivorship, and everything in between, all while poking fun at her experience. Did you know chemo also makes your pubic hair fall out? Hey, sounds like this show is also educational! There is an accompanying slideshow that includes photos, Julia’s artwork (drawings of boobs!), and a little medical information. “A Tale of Two Titties” leaves audiences uplifted and inspired, proving that even in the darkest of times, there’s always room for laughter.
