*Content warning: sexual abuse* ‘Punk rock bad ass’ Kylie Vincent straight off her 8 month long United States tour and one month run in Scotland for The Edinburgh Fringe Festival. BIRD, written and performed by 22 year old Kylie Vincent is equal parts stand-up, memoir, and fever dream and is about a Gen Z trainwreck soaring beyond her childhood trauma. This solo comedy show explores the challenges of being a young female-identifying stand up, while her past trauma continues to peck its way into the present. This hour-long show just made its UK premiere at Gilded Balloon, receiving four star reviews from major publications and reviewers saying, “Kylie Vincent is someone to watch and the world will be hearing more from her in years to come.” This intimate hybrid form, weaves confessional storytelling, stand-up comedy and social commentary, delivering laughs even as the content deepens. Vincent has made a name for herself in cities across the United States and is now preparing for her debut run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Stylistically, Bird has been compared to Moses Storm’s Trash White, Hannah Gatsby’s Nanette or Jerrod Carmichael’s Rothaniel. BIRD’s 2022 American tour garnered brilliant audience feedback: “Vincent is a punk rock, bad ass”. . .“BIRD is emotional, it is dark, and it is funny”. . . “BIRD is an edgy, thought-provoking, heartfelt piece that can make anyone feel less alone in their trauma. . . Honest, hilarious and tear-jerking”. . .“Wild and freeing and funny and sad… A powerful performer who burns brightly.” Kylie Vincent is a 22 year old stand-up and solo performer from California, but knows her homebase to be New York City and can be found performing in all the boroughs, regularly, at QED & Tiny Cupboard. Vincent has performed at major colleges and comedy clubs all around the country. She has just come off of her Bird, A Solo Show tour after performing it in over 10 cities for 8 months straight and audiences have called it "hilarious, memorable, and Vincent is a badass." Kylie tours with her disabled dog and wants you to know she was broken when she got her.
