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 Ulman, 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.

“Highly intelligent, sexy, titillating and challenging!” Michael Green, One Yellow Rabbit -High Performance Rodeo.


enough with those bozo's and their opinions

the creator of Blyss is: Siobhan and lately she has been climbing an uphill battle trying to get her work out there....

Sometimes I feel…

Rejected
Left naked
Bruised within
Numbness
A fragile existence
To
Obtain balance.
