Beth Lapides is an alt comedy guru, author, yogi and creator of the groundbreaking comedy show Un-Cabaret and The Comedian's Way workshop. In her new show "100% Happy 88% of the Time" she navigates the slippery slope of these rapidly changing times on pages, stages, screens. And she does it with an upward facing attitude.
Beth's blog reflects her wide ranging interests and her feeling that despite the insane level of difficulty, The World Is So Exciting Right Now! She connects woo-woo with edge science and the spiritual frontier to daily life. She interprets, questions, deconstructs, inspires and analyzes. And she does it in all high heels. Or in barefeet. But never in flats!
"100% Happy 88% of the Time" is a turned-on theatrical tour-de-force from paradigm-shifting entertainer Beth Lapides. It combines brilliant comedic storytelling with original music and multimedia for a night of evolutionary entertainment.

"i Was "the front row girl" @ the performance on May 22. Boy did I have wild dreams that night! Your performance was a total revelation, I've been having fun quoting/promoting since! Thank you for a wonderful magical performance!"
"WONDERBAR!!! I haven't laughed that hard in eons. SMART, witty, right-on, life-affirming, not that usual insulting humor. You’re a voice we need to hear loudly and often!!"
"I loved your show! I went to sleep embracing the magic. And creating acronyms in my sleep."
"G8 show!! I haven't had such a great time in years!! You are so brilliantly witty, astute, wish I snuck my tape recorder in cos I'm so ready to hear it several times more. I've been telling peeps on FB and Twitter. How about a net show or something?"
