Kenice Mobley has always been a bit depressed, going so far as to plan her funeral when she was a kid. For years, she worked hard to fix the urge to end her life. Then her body tried to kill her with a stroke. Don’t Kill Yourself Yet traces a path from justifiable sadness, reasons to stay alive, and what it means to live a life worth living. Heralded by the Boston Globe as “funny…always frank,” this comedic solo show was part of this year's Netflix is a Joke festival. Kenice is thrilled to perform for the international audience in her debut at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
