David Dean Bottrell, the accomplished actor and storyteller, is set to take the stage once again with two captivating one-man shows at Pangea (178 2nd Ave at 11th St.). Bottrell’s upcoming residency promises a mix of side-splitting humor and heartfelt tales, providing audiences with an unforgettable evening of entertainment. Begins September 18 and will run in rep through December 18, 2023.
Following the immense success of his previous show, the award-winning David Dean Bottrell Makes Love, “Dear Mr. Bottrell, I Cannot Possibly Accept This,” delves into a series of new and true stories about bad decisions that will have audiences laughing and nodding in agreement. From ill-advised singing lessons to dealing with heinious neighbors and attempting over-enthusiastic weight loss, David’s humor and storytelling prowess shines as he shares anecdotes that resonate with the human experience.
Bottrell will also introduce his second production, David Dean Bottrell: The Death of Me Yet . This unique show explores the topic of mortality with a refreshing blend of humor and warmth. Through tales of potluck funerals, encounters with chatty EMS personnel, and an exploration of unconventional burial options, David recounts his personal experiences the big “D’ and takes audiences on a life-affirming journey through life’s inevitable destination.
“God knows, the last three years have been a little rough on all of us, and doing these shows gives me a chance to open up about everything that’s been bugging me, scaring me and making me so grateful for my life! I’m truly excited that Pangea offered me this 12-week residency. I can’t wait to share some secrets (and some big laughs) with the audiences in that beautiful, intimate showroom!” . ” David Dean Bottrell
