More about: She Laughed, She Cried:
FUNNY IN THE HEAD, is a one-woman show by comedian, storyteller, writer and
mental health activist JAN DERBYSHIRE. The show is the rollicking story of a
bipolar comedian’s fight to stay funny. She ultimately finds an answer to the
pressing question, “Is appearing normal a mental health act?”
“Jan is an artist who is wildly talented, imaginative, and energetic… Jan’s
plays are rooted in a deep fascination with a good story… Her style is very
confident, funny and energizing.”
– Playwrights’ Workshop, Montreal
Jan’s previous shows include: Under the Big Top; Audition of the Embarrassed
Woman; The Opposite of Everything is True; Turkey in the Woods; The
Brotherhood of Mothers, A Modern Woman’s Guide to Female Impersonation;
Ingenious Speculations. Jan recently directed Kickstart’s Human Writes Story
Creation lab; Meg Torwl in That’s so gay!; the Massey Theatre’s Winter
Spectacular; and Herd of Women in Small Acts of Saying So.

FADO singer SARA MARREIROS and her band open the evening. Dark and brooding or
gloriously ethereal, Sara’s sultry, sexy vocals are steeped in the passion of
saudade – the feeling of yearning that is part of the Portuguese soul. A
professional musician and bandleader for 15 years, her recordings include the
albums Minhu Luz, Uma da Terr, and Saltwater.
“Sara’s voice transports us to Portugal…to smokey bars and riversides…she
takes us from delight to despair and back again with the music and the
emotional scope she brings to her singing” – Sheryl McKay, CBC Radio
