Description

A mind-blowing, hilarious, heartwarming and true story. Comedian Cheyenne tells his life story from birth to present day. When Cheyenne was born, his father's guru came to the hospital and said he was going to be a very big spiritual teacher. After his parents' divorce, Cheyenne's life becomes more and more surreal as he journeys through a cult, several startups and even a porn-star convention on his journey to figuring out his life's purpose.

It's a very deep show - it's not just comedy. There's philosophy, personal trauma and dark humour all interwined into an amazing performance that will make you think about things in your life even after the show has finished.

If you want something more than the standard funny show, you should definitely look into this

It was witty. It was engaging. It never felt embarrassing or squirmy. That’s a skill.
