The hit Off-Broadway show Solo: A Show About Friendship comes to Minneapolis for the first time!

Featured on NPR's This American Life, Solo begins with storyteller Gabe Mollica declaring, "I turned 30, and it occurred to me I don't have any friends." The show dives into what it means to have friends in your 30s, Gabe's love of Sondheim, and, of course, Taco Bell.

The New York Times describes the show as "very funny, sweet not sappy, intricate, Birbiglian storytelling." Chris Gethard says, "I love Gabe's new show. I watched him pour blood, sweat, and tears into it. Grab your tickets ASAP!"

Gabe Mollica is a comedian and storyteller living in Astoria, Queens. His show "Solo" ran for multiple extensions and 80 performances Off-Broadway at both the historic SoHo Playhouse (Fleabag, Nannette,) and The Connelly Theater Upstairs. Gabe has been featured on The Moth Radio Hour, This American Life, the New York Times, Doug Loves Movies, and countless other publications and podcasts. He's twice performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival where The Scotsman wrote, "For the first time this summer, I did not want the hour to end." He teaches solo show workshops at QED: Astoria and his sketches on Instagram with Alexis Gay have amassed millions of views. Follow him @GabeMollica.
