Adam Strauss's spontaneous comedic show Adam Strauss Is Not Unhappy will return to The Marsh San Francisco for a limited run. The actor/playwright describes Adam Strauss Is Not Unhappy as a mostly unscripted, entirely unguarded exploration of heartbreak, addiction, obsession, loneliness, and other hilarious things.
Adam Strauss Is Not Unhappy will be presented March 10-31, 2023 with performances at 7:30pm Fridays at The Marsh San Francisco, 1062 Valencia St., San Francisco. For information or to order tickets ($15-$35 sliding scale, $55 & $100 reserved), the public may visit www.themarsh.org.
Adam Strauss Is Not Unhappy takes flight in a mostly unscripted evening that explores Strauss' up-to-the-minute challenges and triumphs around OCD, love, loneliness and, quite possibly, finding parking in San Francisco on a Friday night, offered up with Strauss' expert comedic skills and singular worldview. His two previous solo works include The Mushroom Cure and The Uncertainty Principle, which were both greeted with warm audience response and critical acclaim, with media calling Strauss "Riveting" (Time Out NY) and "A master storyteller" (Talkin' Broadway).
