Mychelle Colleary's AMBITIOUS UNDERACHIEVER Announced At Edinburgh Fringe

Award winning and critically acclaimed vocalist and entertainer Mychelle Colleary brings a brand new show, in her first full month run, to Edinburgh Festival Fringe.

Come revel in the oversized aspirations of Mychelle Colleary's musical head-smash, a jazz-tinged autobiographical one-woman show recounting undiagnosed traumatic brain injury, way too many prescribed drugs and a dearth of available therapeutic alternatives.  'Ambitious Underachiever' is a self-depreciating triumph of obstinately hacking the system despite a loss of self-worth, when society is telling you to just get over it.  Includes original songs by Colleary herself alongside classic tunes by Sondheim, Strayhorn, and Chaplin.

A California native, honorary New Yorker and Londoner, now narrowboat dweller, Mychelle has performed professionally as a jazz vocalist, in musical theatre, folk-rock bands, symphonies, a Turkish Sufi group… blah-dee, blah-dee blah… she can sing her ass off, is accidentally funny on purpose, tells a great story, but in true neuro-spicy form gets bored by sticking to one genre, so has taken the leap onto the tight-rope of crafting a genre-bending deeply personal and revealing cabaret (or caber-play?)...
