7 Sins

Written and performed by James Judd

April 4 to April 26   Extended to May 17th!

James Judd presents his life of envy, greed, gluttony, pride, lust, sloth, and wrath.

7 Sins is a collection of hilarious and true stories from the life of writer/comedian James Judd. It chronicles his early ambition to win his 5th Grade book report competition with My Search for Patty Hearst, and his first job when his working mother paid him to watch The Young and the Restless and then reenact it for her.

He relives his varied careers as a forgotten employee of AT&T, where he did nothing for a year, an even shorter-lived career as a dot.com journalist (which led to an insane night in a Chinese bordello), and as an under-prepared criminal defense attorney representing a tiny but extremely violent teenage girl.

"Judd is Paul Lynde for the new millennium. His show is off-the-wall and out-of-the-ballpark entertaining. To miss it would be the eighth and deadliest sin of all." - Toronto Star.

"He's David Sedaris on a pot of coffee." - Rochester Democrat & Chronicle.

"Judd's jokes are hyper-funny, making the show a witty, sophisticated breeze." Rochester Democrat & Chronicle

7 Sins is not poignant! It 's not inspirational! It's just 75 minutes of FUNNY
