Cartoonist and comedian Mo Welch has merged her art and comedy into one show about attachment.

Mo Welch is a stand up comedian and cartoonist originally from Normal, Illinois. She appeared on CONAN in January of 2018 and in February of 2019. Her 10 part animated series BLAIR debuted on TBS Digital in January 2018. Her comics have been published in The New Yorker, Cosmopolitan Magazine, Vice, and more.

Mo lives in Los Angeles and is excited to hopefully be on tour in 2022.

Producers Mike Lavoie and Carlee Briglia conceptualized this summer series based on the belief that off-Broadway could be a developmental space where one-person comedy shows can take shape in front of live audiences and be presented on the same stage as great dramas like True West and The Vagina Monologues. Audiences are invited to be an integral part of the process for new and exciting works from rising talent and the stars of tomorrow.
