Samantha Bee performs her one-woman show “How to Survive Menopause” at the Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center on Friday night. Bee says she doesn’t want to talk about menopause but must, and she comically passes on what she learned going through it. The theater says the show is for anyone who is going through menopause, has been through it, will go through it, or knows someone who is... So everyone.
Bee, who grew up in Toronto, started out in the all-female sketch troupe The Atomic Fireballs. She joined “The Daily Show” in 2003, left in 2015, and holds the record as its longest-serving regular correspondent, at 12 years. In 2016 she launched “Full Frontal with Samantha Bee” on TBS, which ran seven seasons. She also wrote the essay collection I Know I Am, But What Are You?, hosts the podcast “Full Release,” and co-created the TBS comedy “The Detour” with her husband, Jason Jones.
Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center, 14 Castle Street, Great Barrington, MA. Tickets at mahaiwe.org or 413-528-0100.
