Haunted tampons, magical p*ss play and soul-searching at Costco? According to comedian Bailey Swilley, nothing is too “woo-woo” when it comes to dealing with death.
Welcome to Bailey’s hilarious ghost tour, Gimme a Sign!, full of spellbinding life lessons on family expectations, grief, and growing up. In this vulnerable yet irreverent solo comedy, she shares how she survived the darkest time in her life—the unexpected passing of her father—through an obsession with looking for signs from the great beyond.
Gimme a Sign! is a raw, deeply personal, and silly piece that explores the unanswered questions that loss often leaves us with. At its core, it’s about the agony of grief—the kind that cracks you open—and the winding road of piecing yourself back together. This emotional séance of memory and meaning guides audiences through nostalgia and absurdity, where the supernatural meets the super-personal. It’s a joyride through the messiness of coming up millennial, with nods to Forrest Gump, Blink-182, Britney Spears, and one regrettable decision to ditch underwear as a teenager.
Gimme a Sign! centres on familial relationships, identity, growing up mixed race (white and Asian, specifically), and the quiet rebellion required to become who you truly are. Whether you’re into the spirit world or not, Gimme a Sign! will turn you into a believer of… something!
In short, it’s a LIFE-AFFIRMING comedy about DEATH, honey! Are you in?
