The show was funny, honest, original. I laughed many times and I was actually brought to tears. So much fun, and also truly emotionally resonant. An admirable feat for a debut show!...

Christine Covode's unique yet deeply relatable take on growing up causes audiences to both double over with laughter and to reflect on those important relationships we may take for granted. The focus on Christine's relationship with her mother through the years frames the show perfectly, and provides moments for both hilarity and poignancy. The show was incredibly touching, but also so so joyful and ridiculous; it made me cry, but also made me shed tears of laughter! Christine effortlessly embodies herself at various stages in her life, from the exuberant and curious 10 year old to the lonely college freshman experiencing a bit of an existential crisis. I went once, and then had to come back to see it again. ...

Christine takes you back to adolescence with all its bumps and bruises in a very genuine and heartfelt performance. Her relationship with her mother is complicated and serves as a vehicle for discovering her complicated self. At once funny and sad the journey she takes you on is both personal and universal. I laughed and cried seeing her develop into a beautiful young woman....

Christine Covode proves with Dear Mom, Sorry for Being a B!tch that she can do it all! The show's nostalgic plot ranges from utter hilarity to tear-jerking poignancy and Christine operates the funnest emotional rollercoaster you've ever been on while somehow riding along with you, probably doing really funny faces during the pictures. With infectious energy Christine journeys through the joy and innocence of childhood to the trying times of adolescence, and the audience gets to absorb her philosophical musings and all-too-relatable antics as if reading a friend's diary. You will reach the end of this completely delightful and inspiringly open performance having laughed, cried, and really wanting Christine Covode to be your new best friend....

Christine Covode’s breakthrough one-woman show was a stunning 60 minutes you never wanted to end.
Covode’s childlike abandon throughout the show strengthens the bittersweet of growing up and presents a convincing portrait of the struggles navigating childhood. Her writing is a fresh and honest take on the topic of growing up that left the audience both in laughter and tears. Everyone should come see this at Fringe Festival— her interpretation of the relationship between parent and adolescent child will leave you reflecting on your own upbringing with new lens combined with a warm nostalgia. ...

I wasn't quite sure what to expect when we decided to attend the show. However, any and all doubts I held were quickly cast aside as I watched Cristine's growth from child to college student.
She presented a uniquely hilarious and touching account of her journey. I laughed out loud throughout most of the play and yet was touched by her stories and the recollections of her intimate feelings.
It's one of those plays that you keep thinking about days later. I can't wait to watch it again in LA....
