Award-winning comedian, writer, and trained vocalist Colleen Ballinger extends her stage show through 2018. Featuring appearances by both Colleen and ‘Miranda Sings,’ the tour offers Ballinger’s signature blend of live comedy, singing, awkward innuendos and a lot of lipstick. Audiences can expect a fast-paced 75-minute show and will be left feeling grateful.
Ballinger’s character ‘Miranda Sings’ has become an international phenomenon whose YouTube channel has amassed over 8 million devoted subscribers and over a billion views. The character ‘Miranda’ was created in 2008 to parody the young, self-absorbed singers with far more confidence (and vibrato) than talent which Colleen saw uploading videos to YouTube. ‘Miranda’ is known for her overdrawn red lips, questionable advice about singing and life, a deluded self-confidence, and over-the-top rants about her family and personal problems. With the New York Times #1 Bestselling book Selp Helf and the hour-long comedy special inspired by it, Colleen’s eccentric alter ego continues to grow beyond her YouTube channel.
