All The Boys I Blocked

Solo Show / chanel & the circus / Ages 18+ / 45 mins / United States of America

Brace yourselves for “All the Boys I Blocked” – a hilarious solo clown musical where Chanel takes you on a rollercoaster of blocked exes and modern romance. Laugh, cry, and become part of the show as you navigate through the accordion-fueled madness between jadedness, healing and the fantasies of love.

Chanel Samson cut their teeth in the entertainment industry in Liverpool England at Paul McCartney’s music school, got kicked out of the country, and landed back home in LA. Chanel formed a community of genderfluid-pansexual queers with their variety show The Secret Circus, and toured in bands such as Chanel & the Circus and Praise Kink. Now they are taking their piano, accordion, and ukulele to the stage in this raw unfiltered one person show that will make you laugh, cry and quit your day job (if you’re unhappy with it of course, if not, then good for you! pay for this show).

Director and filmmaker Melanie D’Andrea tells stories about those who dare to imagine and dream new possibilities; the outsiders, the revolutionaries, the off-beats and those who are before-their-time.  With their poetic and magical realism style, D’Andrea blurs the lines between reality and fantasy in order to viscerally invoke the audience to the power within each of us.  Born in Venezuela and raised in South Florida, D’Andrea recently directed 4 episodes for NBC/ Telemundo’s “Vuelve a Mi”, is an NBC Launch Fellow, a Ryan Murphy Half Initiative fellow and a two-time DGA Award recipient for her films “South Arcadia St.” and “Stand.” They are currently directing a feature documentary and is the executive producer of “The Disruptors,” a showcase of T.V. writers of color who identify as trans/nonbinary, disabled, or undocumented/formerly undocumented migrants.
