Bridget McGuire

Bridget McGuire presents *Ballet Flats for Dinner*, a stand-up and storytelling show about growing up with intrusive thoughts with harm, a form of OCD. Drawing on experiences ranging from believing she was pregnant at 11 to wondering at 25 whether she had killed her friend’s boyfriend, McGuire traces her eventual decision to seek help at 38 with a conversational, self-deprecating perspective. The show aims to make difficult experiences funny while inviting audiences to reflect on anxiety and OCD.

McGuire is a New York-based storyteller and comedian whose material focuses on anxiety, family, and dating, delivered with her Chicago accent. She co-produces the comedy show All That Good Stuff, performs throughout New York City, and has opened for Pete Lee, Michael Palascak, Janet Williams, and Maggie Hughes DePalo. Her writing has appeared in *Women’s Health*, *Prevention*, and *Oprah Daily*.
