Presented in association with Richard Skipper Celebrates, the UK’s Ludlow Fringe Festival is presenting The Pink Hulk: One Woman’s Journey to Find the Superhero Within, written and performed by three-time cancer survivor Valerie David. The show plays on Thursday, August 27 (see below for time and details), and will be raising funds for the cancer organization Gilda’s Club. It is directed by Padraic Lillis and Maris Heller. There will also be a Talkback & Audience Q&A, moderated by Skipper.
Now battling breast cancer after fighting off lymphoma, David does something most people facing cancer in their life probably wouldn’t think of doing. With a fear that she might lose “the girls,” she takes them out for one last hurrah. And does Valerie succeed? Is there a “happy” ending? Come see the show to find out! This sexy, adventurous solo show follows Valerie’s journey to seek her own “hulk-like” strength to find her superhero within to become a 3-time cancer survivor. The Pink Hulk is an empowering and true story of inspiration for anyone facing ANY adversity in their own lives—with plenty of humor-guaranteed!
David, who is based in New York City, “hulked out” on cancer; after her first two bouts with cancer-Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in 1999 and then breast cancer in 2014/2015. Then in September 2018, she was re-diagnosed with breast cancer—this time Stage IV metastatic. As of April 2019, she has beaten cancer again and has continued to beat it!
Thursday, August 27, 3 pm to 4 pm, ET (8 pm to 9 pm, UK) (one performance only)
