Adam Bailey: My Three Deaths
2025 Edmonton International Fringe Theatre Festival
Aug. 21, 2025, 8:41 p.m.

This might have been the wrong show to see the day prior to the anniversary of my dad's passing, and 3 days after a less than wonderful trip to the vet with my cat. It took me a couple hours to emotionally decompress.

But Adam Bailey is an excellent story teller (albeit sometimes maybe a little TOO rehearsed, if that's a thing) and each time I attend his shows where the topic is about his life, I'm always struck by how unique and complex his life has been.

I think he and Wendy from Mystery House should go out for coffee to talk about grief because I think that would be a very interesting conversation to be a fly on the wall for.

I'll tell you though, every March, for the rest of my life, I'm going to hear Adam's mother in my head telling me to file my taxes on time.
