What happens when you grow up during the 70s and 80s unsupervised in a small town? QUEENAGE WASTELAND is an autobiographical comedy, performed by Candy Roberts, of stories of her Gen-X childhood as she looks at her past as she was growing up and aging. With a mix of clowning, stand-up comedy and story telling.

There were some comedic moments that I ended up enjoying a bit, while others didn’t really hit for me but for others in the audience it did. It also felt a little bit hard to keep track of what was going on in terms of the storyline, though it was still quite enjoyable. The ending was humorous which made it a bit more memorable

Although some of the humor wasn’t really my cup of tea, the other jokes were hilarious!
