Holy Sh*t I Lived: A Solo Show by George Owens
Join us for the first Blue Whale Comedy night at LowDown of 2025 featuring a one-of-a-kind, one-man show by Tulsa-native turned international comedian George C. Owens!
Prepare to laugh until you cry and cry until you laugh in "Holy Sh*t I Lived," where Second City alum George C. Owens takes you on a rollercoaster of near-death experiences and the ultimate peril: love. See the show that earned George 5 Stars at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival. From hilariously close calls to a romantic disaster that almost did him in, George's show is "a masterclass of live performance" focusing on finding humor in the darkest of times. Don’t miss this wild, heartfelt ride through life, death, and everything in between—because surviving it all is only half the story.
Holy Sh*t I Lived is a one-man show about George's apathy toward his near-death experiences, blending sketch, improv, and storytelling. It's heartfelt, fun, and—most importantly—funny.
George performed this show at the world-famous Edinburgh Fringe Festival in August 2024 and received a 5-star review from the festival editorial.
