Chris Grace: Sardines

After his smash-hit show Chris Grace: As Scarlett Johansson, actor and comedian Chris Grace moved from solving racism to solving… death? Chris Grace: Sardines explores the tragic, hilarious and important questions of our time:

Can we enjoy life if we know how it ends?
Does making art actually help?
And if Rihanna's song is called Don't Stop the Music, why does the music... stop?

This is a comic look at the people in Chris’s life who have passed, and how he has managed to live a full, joyous life in spite of that. His existential ice cream sundae has every flavor of grief in it; from parents to siblings to partners, he’s experienced it all and he’s made it out the other side.

Find out in this insightful and vulnerable comedy that was a hit at numerous fringe festivals around the world, including the famed Edinburgh Fringe Festival. This June, it plays for one performance, only at CSz Philadelphia.
