Country Girl Makes Do

Electricity and buffoonery, wrapped in clown. Sam shines in her solo piece. I was leaning forward the entire show, entranced by her ability in story-telling and engagement with the audience. Bravo!... full review

Brilliant. Funny stupid. Crafted perfectly. So fucking stupid and funny and fun and surprising and contained. Stunning performance. Present and singular and I loved every moment ... full review

Sam has a way of making complete chaos feel totally intentional, and she's impossible to take your eyes off of. The show is playful, absurd, and full of personality, and she brings the audience into this exaggerated, cartoon-like version of her world with so much confidence that you can't help but go along for the ride.... full review

We’re all so lucky to be here, Sam knows that and shares her southern knowledge through copious amounts of beer, no fear and feelings. ... full review

What a treat. I had no idea just how much I would love this piece. Funny, heartfelt, and sonically SO satisfying. Brava!!! ... full review

Clowning with heart! Sam is a master performer who doesn't half-ass anything- she goes full-on in whatever direction she's headed, transforming the space - and transporting the audience - into her world. She uses every tool/device possible (her physicality, voice, props, sound cues and word choice) to be Country Girl and it's a lesson in clowning to watch her. I could have spent many more hours with her! Don't miss this show!... full review

Sam G has a special superhuman ability to be grounded and present with the audience in the midst of a zany bit, and to be able to respond with the perfect tenor with razor sharp quick-wit! A fascinating portrait of Sam G's origin story (true or not, it's interesting regardless) which gives us a peek behind this plucky entrepreneur of the infamous "L.A. Clown" hat. ... full review
