Chase Padgett: the Next Guy — a one-man show that truly shows the way we can laugh, cry, and celebrate mental health — both the end result and the journey to get there. A perfect blend of serious topics and comedy, this show is both hilarious and very heartfelt in all the right ways.

“You know that friend that’s smart at spreadsheets but dumb at life? That’s me. I’m that friend.” Chase Padgett himself takes the audience on a comedic but sincere journey through his own life, with fantastic comedy, both beautiful and hilarious songs, and the tales of how red hair is the human warning sign for “if you like this, you’ll die.”

Padgett is an expert at making the audience truly feel like they are a part of the story. His smooth crowd participation and how he spoke to the audience allowed for a very comfortable and enjoyable show. As well, Padgett’s guitar playing and the lighting of the show worked together beautifully to create a fantastic immersive experience.

“You cannot waste the sunshine in your heart waiting for something that will never happen.” If you’re looking for a comedy that will have you laughing but also has a beautiful ending, this is the show for you. :)
