Watch (but mainly listen) as Tanya O’Debra lends her voice to ten different characters while simultaneously staging silly sound effects in this filthy, filthy, dirty 1940’s radio detective spoof. Just like the golden age of radio, only dirtier. The play runs one hour with no intermission.

Radio Star won Best of the San Francisco Fringe Festival. It was nominated for Best English Language Production and Just For Laugh’s Best Comedy at the Montreal Fringe Festival. Published by Original works, it was also nominated for Outstanding Full Length Script, Outstanding Original Music, and Outstanding Actress in a Leading role at the New York Innovative Theater Awards. Most recently, Radio Star sold out every performance in advance at The Cincy Fringe Festival.
