Washington Post Going Out Gurus
Despite the fact I can never remember the full name, “Revenge of the Cat-Headed Baby and Other True Tales about Life and Death” is quickly creeping to the top of my must-see list. Much like “Chocolate Jesus,” SpeakeasyDC’s other Fringe offering, the show consists of occasionally comical first-person tales exploring human existence.

Washington City Paper
“Five performers, five true autobiographical tales, told well. No, not simply told — shaped. And that’s the key: as each story unfolds, you find yourself noting how well each storyteller directs the flow of the narrative, wrasslin’ it into submission with a gesture, callback, or well-timed pause.”

DC Theatre Scene
“…a celebration of loss, recovery and redemption as experienced by ordinary people who happen to have brilliant comic timing and storytelling skills.”

Comment on Going Out Gurus
I saw “Revenge of the Cat-Headed Baby” last night. It’s speakeasy DC’s (of “Chocolate Jesus” fame) new offering this year. It was great. Lighter than “Chocolate Jesus” but just as polished.”

Washington Post
“Revenge of the Cat-Headed Baby and Other True Tales About Life and Death.” How could something with that title be boring? A bonus: The folks from well-seasoned storytelling crew SpeakeasyDC are behind this production, which uses storytelling to talk about life, and yes, death. And having seen comic Vijai Nathan perform, we know her story of the cat-headed baby, and let’s just say you should be so wary of karma.

These five seemingly ordinary people come forward and give us a piece of their history. Pieces that make you laugh and cry. Pieces that are firmly rooted in the speaker’s culture, and yet remarkably so universal.
