Comedian Bryan Safi is set to debut his first solo show, 'Are You Mad At Me??', at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe this summer. In this performance, he addresses topics like queer identity, childhood humiliation, and adult intimacy issues, employing both stand-up comedy and theatrical flair. Safi, known for his role on '9-1-1', delves into the intricacies of being a people-pleaser and the resulting anxieties, aiming to resonate with audiences on a personal level while also offering chaotic and funny narratives. The show features musical elements, including a comedic take on a Paula Abdul song.
I mean, it is the question I ask the most in my life. I am a big people-pleaser, for sure. And what's curious about people-pleasing is, like, people-pleasers don't like it.
This solo comedy show really is like a spiral through identity, queerness, rage and people pleasing, and told through the lens of someone who has spent his entire life trying to be liked.
