A storytelling/ comedy event. A book. A solo show.
QUICK HISTORY – Teen Angst started in Calgary in 2000 with a live event series and a website, the event has been running in Vancouver since late 2001. The website was probably one of the first blogs-to-books, published in April 2005 with a book launch event at the KGB Bar in NYC. In 2006 the book was turned into a stage show for the High Performance Rodeo in Calgary (and sold out!), Then Sara created a solo show of her own horrible Teen Angst Poetry which she performed at the Toronto Fringe in 2007, Bumbershoot in 2008, the Edinburgh Free Fringe in 2011. In 2008 Sara was on the poetry stage at a massive festival in the UK called Latitude, and the live show happens whenever Sara can squeeze it into her schedule.
“But is it real comedy? It most certainly is. People love to laugh and there are many routes to arrive at that destination. Is it traditional? It most certainly is not. It’s not what the average person envisions when they think of comedy. But regular shows would kill for these kinds of laughs.” Georgia Straight

“It’s high time the rhyme-crazy juveniles of the world are celebrated as the poetic prodigies we truly were.” Nylon Magazine
“I like it when the definition of “theatre” gets stretched. That’s what Sara Bynoe’s doing.” … “I gut laughed the whole evening. So did the rest of the audience. It was a full house. It always is. – TJ Dawe in the Charlebois Post
