Mom, Are You There?

This is the second time I've seen this show and it is worth seeing numerous times. Mary is a true comic with her voices and physical movements. It is real, honest and hilarious. There is so much going on and it moves quickly. Entertaining the entire time. Highly recommended.... full review

I've known Mary as a comic but I feel like I REALLY KNOW and LOVE her NOW - after seeing her one woman show. The way she acted out all the internal feelings she was plagued with as a teenager was magical. Mary brought all the parts of her ALIVE ON STAGE! It was funny and heartfelt and I was glad to learn about her life.... full review

You had me at your first Vartoush video, you cracked me UP with your live comedy, you sold me with your political commentary, and now you really left a lasting impression on me with Mom, Are You There. Thank you so much for sharing such a powerful, personal story. You're so damn talented and inspiring!!! ... full review

Mary tells her personal story with bravery and vulnerability. The show gives gives glimpse of Mary's childhood and up to the present day, with images projected and her use of characters she preforms. You can tell this is a meaningful story from the moment she makes eye contact with her audience. ... full review

What a beautiful show. Mary did a phenomenal job of telling her story. I loved the message of self compassion and feel like many people can resonate with that.... full review

Mary puts her whole heart into this poignant, well-crafted story of family bonds and life struggles. She's a comic genius, keeping us laughing through some very serious moments. 5 out of 5 stars! If you've ever wondered what your refrigerator may be saying about you behind its closed doors, see this show--... full review

Mary told an incredibly personal story with humor and heart. She gave voice to all the parts and voices in our heads that tend to make us feel less than we are. But through facing them, and exposing her own insecurities, we see Mary's own transformation away from the baggage of the past, and see her beautifully step into her own sense of self. She is vulnerable and so generous with all the characters she plays. I hope everyone makes it out to see this show!... full review

Equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking, this solo show seamlessly weaves through Mary's entire life. Really cool use of lighting and personal photographs to add an extra layer to the show. ... full review
