From Press Release
Written by Gillian Bartolucci, under the direction of Second City alumna, Carly Heffernan, Full Body Pull is a one person play about the ever-evolving relationship that comedian Gillian Bartolucci has with her mother; a woman who had kids, but is much more than a parent. Through a collection of sketches and storytelling Gillian explores growing up alongside a grown-up who is also growing up.
Gillian Bartolucci is a member of the Canadian Comedy Award-winning sketch collective The Sketchersons, as well as sketch quartet Panaca (Top 10 Comedy Shows of 2015, NOW Magazine & Torontoist). She has performed solo in the Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival and was featured in the Best of the Fest Showcase at the Montreal Sketch Comedy Festival. In 2017 Gillian also performed in the JFL42 New Faces: Characters Showcase.
Material for Full Body Pull was developed through writing, childhood, and pinot grigio.
