Calorie-loaded Triscuts. Drug-addled boyfriends. Puppies with internal bleeding. These are only a few of the lighthearted themes Emily Clark tangles with in her hilarious cabaret show, "Emily Clark is Slightly Dramatic." This show has tickled and disturbed audiences across the Los Angeles metropolitan area with performances at Sterling's Upstairs at Vitello's, Caffeinated Cabaret and Skinny's Lounge, but now she takes it to the east coast, primarily because she is banned from California. Emily Clark has appeared across Southern California in numerous productions, including "Slightly Dramatic" co-author Ryan Scott Oliver's "Out of My Head," and "Rated RSO: LA Edition," "Hair" at the Ovation award-winning Chance Theater, and the lauded musical, "Right Together, Left Together" with The Unknown Artists.
