Country Girl Makes Do

This Country Girl makes do and then some! 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

wonderfully creative & committed show. as if there wasn’t already evident commitment from the unceasing phone prop, she carried on the bloody show after biting a HOLE THROUGH HER TONGUE. ... full review

A wild show about sobriety. Sam G is always fun, always keeps you guessing. Mischievous and tender and stupid and wise.... full review

Honestly this show was EXTREMELY OFFENSIVE to people from a historically unproblematic area of America known as THE SOUTH. Do NOT see this if you like EVERYTHING about the AMERICAN SOUTH ... full review

As someone who grew up in the south I felt deeply validated and retraumatized by this show (in a good way). Sam is an unhinged performer who hits the gas at 1000% commitment on everything she does. She never misses a beat and runs with anything and everything the audience gives her. Peak clowning!... full review

This was a great clown show, Sam G is so funny, and so is Miguel in the booth!!! ... full review

Whelp, this country girl literally “made do” while performing with a hole-y tongue (NOT the religious, snake-handling backwoods kind). The artist incorporated her unfortunate mouth injury spontaneously into the piece with a series of slides at the top of the show and an offer to the audience to shout “Whut?” out loud if they couldn’t understand something she said with a mangled tongue and a Mizz’ippi accent. From the completely surprising, inventive and delightful entrance (won’t spoil it) to the molting into her main character, Sam G. brings the audience along for a ride through a cultural landscape that is full of contradiction, sadness and whimsy. Excellent use of audience interaction (and the booth) - the clown is in dialogue with us for... full review

This show is Amphetamaic. Hog Wild. A feat of Rustic, Red-blooded, Resplendence. Sam is a performer of unmatched energy and presence, with a lot of love for the craft of clown and a spirit of pure hype. How many beers did she chug during this show? Impossible to know, but it didn't stop her from delivering an hour of belly-laughs, delightfully absurd theatrical constructs, and a sobering reminiscence on love and the stories make life feel special. Somehow, hidden pristinely in plain sight amidst all the wackiness, we are left with a question of who are we and what are we doing here? Highly recommend.... full review

I really liked how Sam was able to scream, make surprised facial expressions, and speak so quickly. I really laughed a lot. I recommend this show. ... full review
