country girl makes do
SARA KANTNER certified reviewer June 19, 2026
Sam is a joyful performer who is delightful to watch. She brings us into the country world of Petal, Mississippi, and we all get to have so much fun - and learn some life lessons along the way. It's easy to get swept up in the show because Sam is having a good time, and by the way of the clown, we have a good time right there with her. ... full review

MOLLY SHARPE certified reviewer June 18, 2026
Such a funny show that provided an abstracted yet truthful feeling portrayal of real life experiences. Getting a taste of what Sam’s “day in the life” in Mississippi was like was both delightful and at times sobering. It really inspired me to the possibilities of an autobiographical show. At the end of the day, this is a girl who always brings the party and I felt that throughout, even when the subject matter became more serious. I think this is a very special show. I will watch this one again. ... full review

Sam is the best of the best, and the show was the same!!! Her energy is infectious and completely pulls you in-you'll leave feeling both giggly and moved in an absolutely awesome way... full review

Sam Gibson is a goddamn laugh out loud riot. This show is impeccably silly and funny, as well as unexpectedly poignant. Sam goes hard with her bits, she's not afraid of looking the fool. ... full review

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Funny, chaotic, full of heart. Sam has such a gosh dang presence and has created a cartoon-ish version of a time and place in her life for the audience to live in. A chaotic day in the life of a country girl in Mississippi (home, work, play, and LoVe) with constant play throughout. Sam is so funny and having the time of her life. Don’t miss it.... full review

This show was delightful and very funny! Sam is now on my list of "if they have a show, I want to go to it" clowns. I hooted, I hollered, at one point I cringed in fear as she swung a water wiggler (which I just googled to learn what it's called fyi) above her head wildly with devilish intent. LA Clown, it's not just an awesome hat she sells- she's also hilarious and super talented in her craft. ... full review

Sam Gibson is a fearless, vibrant performer, fully committed to every ridiculous clown offer and bringing the whole audience along for the ride! "Country Girl Makes Do" is so evocative of a certain time and place, playing with different levels of heaviness and lightness from Sam's personal history. I loved it.... full review

Breaking news: Sam G. does it again. Really fun show you can tell how much work has gone into this. Sam has built so many games into this hour that you feel like you're at an amusement park. And by the way it's a three act structure. Each one better than the last. I've seen this show a LOT (wips) and this is the best version of this show Sam is a beast MUST SEE CLOWN... full review
