Arriving in September for two dates only, Lolo's Boyfriend Show opens at Savage Wonder at 139 Main Street Beacon. Written and performed by Lauren O’Brien, Lolo’s Boyfriend Show is winner of the ICI Audience Choice Award at the Edinburgh Fringe, shortlisted for Best Production, and featured Off-Broadway at Playhouse 46.

Lolo’s Boyfriend Show is an irreverent, soul-baring solo performance following Lolo as a dream European tour unravels, sending her back to suburbia to confront love, loss, and a trail of unforgettable exes. After her punk cabaret tour collapses, Lolo returns home, surrounded by the ghosts of past relationships—from The Yogi to The Addict to The Cowboy. A promising new romance sparks a deeper reckoning, as she navigates heartbreak, identity, and the possibility of a different kind of happiness.

This bold and cathartic performance blends humor, vulnerability, and sharp storytelling into one unforgettable night.

“Bold, cathartic, and irresistibly entertaining…”
– ICI Review

“…tragically funny writing, sickeningly relatable scenarios…”
– Hot Take Reviews

“…fearless and raw….”
– Brian Thomas, Emmy Nominee/Award-Winning Director

“There’s a crowd of people on stage – but only one actor…clever, funny, and poignant…highly recommended!”
– B. Jeffrey Madoff, Madoff Productions (no relation to the master swindler, he tells the New York Times)

“…layered and introspective…Lauren O’Brien tackles a demanding role with commitment and energy…”
– Theatre & Tonic

Lauren O’Brien (Writer/Performer) has performed regionally in To Kill a Mockingbird (Mayella), Angels in America (Harper), and A Wrinkle in Time (Mrs. Whatsit), among others. She was a founding member of director Polina Klimovitskaya’s avant-garde theatre company, Terra Incognita, where she co-developed the original work Ophelia Tapestry. Lauren co-wrote a punk-cabaret album, The Devil’s Girlfriend, which toured throughout Germany. Her first solo show, Jaxx & Lolo, won awards for Best Show and Excellence in Multi-Media at the NYC Frigid Festival.

About Savage Wonder

Savage Wonder’s founding is rooted one veteran searching for a creative sandbox, and has become a permanent home for art that rewrites expectations. Savage Wonder is not here to help veterans. It exists so veterans and first responders can help the arts—and the invitation is simple: Come play.

Savage Wonder's emblem is the octopus — strange, nimble, many-armed. Its logo is a splash—paint, wine, or blood, depending on the eye. Both reflect the spirit of the place: intimate, surprising, whimsical, and alive.
