How Not to Turn Into Your Mother

This show isn’t about hating on your mom. It’s about growing up with my autistic savant mother in a car and trying not to become her.
Spoiler: I ended up in Japan for almost 30 years, living her dreams and nightmares, including a career in sumo wrestling, with plenty of laughs along the way.

From growing up in a car to becoming the voice of Hello Kitty, acting in the worst video game ever, and announcing for metros around the world
(literally, on the other side of the world), reviewers say:

“This standup storytelling show is packed with humor and heart.”

“You’ll laugh at Soness’s take on AI, Japanese architecture, and what happens when you realize you’re more like your parents than you thought.”

Expect a fun, warm look at relationships, identity, and a bit of divergence, delivered at 65 laughs per hour.
