overshare

Great delivery and funny stories. I enjoyed the pencil joke.

This show was a perfect balance of laugh out loud funny and painful familial rejection shared with unabashed sparkle! Thank you Rachel Ruecker for “over sharing”! You were truly out standing!

Imagine someone naked and on fire running down the street but the flames were on the inside.

Beautifully done - achingly vulnerable and raw - while also being laugh out loud funny.

Rachel is definitely one to watch and I look forward to seeing where she goes in the future.

This show is a prime example of how important it is to laugh about the unsavoury moments of your coming of age. Rachel will hit you right in your feels, and delivers the punchline right when you need it. A must-see!

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending "Overshare" by local artist Rachel Ruecker. Rachel has this incredible knack for taking the chaos of her lived experience and turning it into something beautifully relatable and riotously funny. There were moments I found myself mid-guffaw, only to feel that familiar clump in my throat as a wave of familair experience washed over me. It's a testament to her talent that she can pivot from genuine hilarity to poignant reflection in a single breath. If you're looking for a show that will take you on a journey you won't soon forget, go see “Overshare”. Just be prepared to laugh.. and maybe cry.

Wowza! This show was top-notch. Side-splitting funny one moment and heartbreaking the next. Rachel Ruecker delivers a tour-de-force performance. Go and see this play!

What a show! It runs the gamut from side-splittingly hilarious to heart-achingly moving. An honest, 'quirky,' piece of theatre that leaves you thinking about it long after the lights go down. Rachel is so real, and comedy is in her bones. Loved it!

Overshare encapsulates what it is to live and love in a world filled with whimsy and also grief. Because both of those things can exist at the same time. Rachel shows us how it’s done with her humour, strength, grace and joie de vivre. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry and you’ll be inspired to live your life to the fullest with a little bit of sparkle sprinkled in ✨

“Overshare” is a show that shines a light on how messy, traumatic and painful life can be and how we operate in spite of it. It’s a show that shows us that a lot of painful experiences are in fact, universal and there is a beautiful heartbreak in that. In the hour of entertainment put forth, Rachel Ruecker proves herself to be endearing, funny, revelatory, open, self-deprecating, perseverant and painfully, uncomfortably honest. But this really why the show works; there is no pretentiousness, no weird for the sake of weird or nothing that is overblown just so that it can be viewed as more dramatic.

This is bar none, one of the most authentic, uncomfortable and enthralling things you will ever see at Fringe. It’s not solely comedic, it’s not solely tragic, it lay in the shallows of an unmistakable valley of raw humanity. You will laugh, you might tear up, and you might laugh at something no one else will. But that’s life and Rachel’s story is one that should be heard. See this while you can. She has a whole-ass theatre degree so by god, you should see her utilize it.

Rachel has one of the most unique voices; be that tackling comedy or tragedy, or as Vancouver audiences have come to expect from her, perfectly navigating the space in between. Walked away thoroughly moved and entertained. Could not recommend this show enough. Definitely an artist to closely watch.

Overshare Rachel is a skilled storyteller, a tour de force , who captures the audience from her first words, can cut thru the tension and turn a dark moment into comic relief with a deft hand and quick wit. Highly recommend this piece of artistry

Rachel is a skilled comic and storyteller with a knack for making audiences feel just-comfortable-enough, while talking about the least comfortable parts of her life. The show keeps returning to the loss of her father as a teenager and the ripple effect that has had as she navigates adulthood —a heavy subject that she handles with a mix of honesty and wit that somehow feels relatable, even if you don’t have a dead dad. There’s plenty of sharp, self-deprecating humor about sex and dating, the need to be loved, and the search for validation. Her stage presence is grounded, her delivery is clear, and she gives us grade A comedy with a good dose of vulnerability.

Rachel weaves together dark, sad, and uncomfortable stories of family dysfunction, loneliness, grief, estrangement, addiction, and mental illness, with hilarious and joyful observations about growing into womanhood, the comic awkwardnesses and revelatory pleasures of sex and dating, embracing one’s messy self, and finding ways to heal, process, and share the challenges of family, love, and life.

It’s funny, powerful, sad, and brave. Come and feel something new, or realize something about yourself, your family, a friend. Or just laugh, that’s okay too.

Rachel is such a unique storyteller, creating a delicious whiplash between doubled over laughter and gut punching revelations. Her confidence and ease under a spotlight is remarkable; being so wildly vulnerable can’t be as easy as she makes it look. An hour that hits every emotional note and leaves you with a blossoming reassurance that in spite of it all, life is beautiful ❤️

This show is brave , raw , beauitful, vulnerable, funny, bad ass, and emotional as its core. Welll Done
