Description

As seen on BBC's Live at the Apollo, American transplant Spring Day provides dark comedy for nice people. Spring joined a Christian cult at 13 years old and left 13 years later. She's never talked about it before because she didn't think you heathens would understand. Watch her recount why she joined, and how she escaped a growing fundamentalist Christian community that had become her whole world. Expect one hell of a coming-of-age story about finding faith as Spring explores the nature of cults and the role they play in our everyday lives.

This is a well written and presented show, delivered by a performer who knows what she is about

On The Mic (4/5 stars) 37 days ago

This is a joke heavy storytelling show that perfectly balances the fun with the pathos. Her life story, at times, feels like a dark comedy. It would make a very good movie.

The Reviews Hub (4/5 stars) 47 days ago

Day delivers a sharp set with great punchlines and again shows there is so much more to her than life in a cult.
