Blyss - the world's first dominatrix clown
a one of a kind anomaly / enigma wise cracking smart-ass who, is actively conducting active on-going research and experiments. are you intrigued? what is the difference between connection and attraction? a free thinker who is looking for others with open minds who are willing to discuss and/or explore the edge of consciousness. is this too deep for this forum? What have others said about me?
"one of Canada's most accomplished "cross-over" artists" (Canadian Theatre Review, 2005)
Blyss is Ali G, meets Dave Chappelle, meets Tracey Ullman, meets Sin City, meets Girls Behaving Badly with a bit of KINK.... ya dig?
"Blyss is original, provocative and funny. A sexy, wise-cracking, button- pushing joker who breaks down the fourth wall by constantly engaging the audience in dialogue about sex, politics, abilities and dis/abilities and issues all over the moral map...this career is one to watch. She has excellent stage presence" - Stephen Schroeder- Managing Producer, OYR
"Using her unique and dynamic blend of physical theatre, comedy and multi-media to explore the questions of identity, sexuality and relationships in general. As Blyss; McCarthy dazzles audiences with risky, challenging performance art that stretches the boundaries of both stand-up comedy and theatre." - Michele Decottignies-Stage Left (DAF)
She uses digital projection and the layering of images to drive her messages home and a live DJ often accompanies her. Hot off of her phenomenal BC and Alberta tour, Blyss brings us "altered states - primal scream: the edge of consciousness", where she riffs off of the book, " He's Just Not That into You." whilst taking physical theatre to the extreme and inviting the audience into the realm and consciousness of Canada's only branded "love - starved clown".
"A hilarious must see event... You can't help but fall in love with Blyss" Johnny Dunn, One Yellow Rabbit, Calgary AB
