in Fried Chicken & Latkes: A One Woman Experience Emcee’s Name plus sneak previews of three Chutzpah! artists
Vancouver Premiere

Growing up Black and Jewish in Beverly Hills as the daughter of legendary comedian Richard Pryor, Rain Pryor comes by her sharp sense of timing honestly. But, make no mistake: “This ain’t my daddy’s stand-up — I am my own person up there.”

The cabaret-style show, Fried Chicken & Latkes, recalls Pryor’s tumultuous life, growing up in Beverly Hills as the daughter of the famous comedian and a Jewish mother. Told through song and characters, the story takes us on a journey of racial identity, family, career, spiritual growth and love, providing a glimpse into the universe that was her childhood and is her life, morphing effortlessly into the people around her.

Through storytelling, comedy and a knock-out singing voice, Pryor shows that living an authentic life is not about “where do I stand” but “here I stand” and now standing ovations just keep on coming as this award-winning show is performed all over the US and beyond. In fact, she is off on a month-long tour of Australia right after this Vancouver appearance.

Pryor's show ignites on the sheer force of her explosive talent.
