Bradford “Braddy Paddy” McMurran returns to the stage with Good Talk: A Momma’s Boy from God’s Country, Portsmouth. A raw, hilarious, and deeply personal (will be universal for all to understand) one-man show about growing up in the strange poetry of Portsmouth, loving your mother too much to ever fully grow up, and trying to laugh while your heart is breaking.

Through sketch comedy, improvisation, storytelling, and slightly a skewed Southern observations, Brad McMurran, co-creator of Push Comedy Theater and head writer of the off-Broadway hit show Cuff Me; the 50 Shades of Gray Musical Parody, brings audiences into the life he shared with his larger-than-life mother: a woman who could embarrass you, save you, teach you, zing you, and make you laugh harder than anyone alive… often in the same conversation.

Less than a month after losing his mother, McMurran stands alone onstage trying to make sense of grief, memory, mystery, guilt, absurdity, and the terrifying silence left behind when the person who knew you first is suddenly gone. The show is not a funeral… it’s a celebration, a confession, a love letter, and a comedy show mixed all into one.

Funny, painful, reckless, warm, and unmistakably Southern, Good Talk: A Momma’s Boy from God’s Country, Portsmouth, is for anyone who has ever loved their family enough to survive them and for a very candid look into a comedians attempt to deal with the loss of his life.
