One woman’s true tales of near death, unfiltered and in snackable form. Including, but not limited to: war zones, elder caregiving, a white water disaster, incompetent Scottish physicians, and a childhood in the Bronx that involved a Yeshiva by day and bacon and the Guggenheim by night.

From award-winning performer and Chutzpah! Festival favourite Iris Bahr (Curb your Enthusiasm, Hacks, Friends, DAI (enough)) comes Stories From the Brink, a wild, touching and hilariously poignant journey through Ms. Bahr’s near death adventures, from her fragmented childhood in the Bronx to her time in Israel, Asia, South America and back to Tel Aviv, now taking care of her mother with dementia and where on October 7th things come full circle. It is a true tale of adventure, escape, thrills and terrors and evolution through perpetual movement.

As always, Bahr masterfully combines humor, pathos and storytelling to take the audience on a journey that is funny, heartbreaking and life-affirming all at once.

Chutzpah! Festival programming of Israeli artists is supported by the Jewish Federation of Greater Vancouver and the Ronald S Roadburg Foundation.
