Have you ever failed to stand up for yourself? Do you wonder where comedians get their confidence? Do you secretly dream of being a Manifesting Babe? Opera singer and comedian Steph DePrez returns with a show about dreams, risks, and how exactly Americans learn how to be so… loud.
After a successful run of shows at EdFringe 2023, Steph’s new musical comedy cabaret explores class, confidence, and what it takes to cut through the noise. Like last year’s well-reviewed show “The Opera Comedy Show,” Steph weaves her stories in between opera arias, Gospel hymns, and jazz standards “performed with the gravitas afforded by possessing a diaphragm like a blacksmith’s bellows” (The Wee Review).
‘Rambunctiously funny’ (Theatre Travels)
‘Her enthusiasm and musical skill are infectious’ (The Wee Review)
What audiences say:
‘Steph is STUNNING and the experience of watching her is a true joy.'
'Go see this show, you won’t regret it! Hilarious chats, heavenly singing. A real hidden gem.'
'An extremely talented performer who managed to take the fear out of Opera and infuse her love to the audience. Well worth a trip off the beaten track.'
'Never thought of combining stand up comedy with Opera, but Steph pulls it off beautifully! We had a ton of laughs, learned a bit about opera… Steph’s show was a hoot!'
'FANTASTIC! To take opera, something that we are all taught is uptight, and proper, and make it funny, casual and interactive, while giving beautiful, top-notch opera vocals, is something people shouldn’t miss. Treat yourself to this light hearted, amazing show! You will not regret it!'
'Saw this show yesterday and loved it! I have never been to a full opera and thought Steph brought her love of opera to life. Her fantastic voice was mesmerising. Well done Steph - we will definitely go to an opera now!!'
'An absolute hidden gem of the fringe! I knew nothing about opera and thoroughly enjoyed the show. Steph's voice and personality were incredible - an excellent blend of comedy and opera!'
