What happens when an idiot leads a memorial service for a long-deceased family member? In this off-the-wall-comedy, comedian and improviser Julia VanderVeen leads the audience through wild stages of grief as she attempts to honor her beloved Grandmother. At this particular memorial service, what can go wrong, does, and ends up revealing VanderVeen's deep humanity.


The Orlando Weekley said, "The world's worst eulogy becomes a masterclass in cringe comedy in VanderVeen's tour de force...her live-action Muppet Show meets Carol Burnett-esque embrace of absurdity...[it] made me laugh harder than any other Fringe show this year."
