Dead Dreams and a Drinking Problem

17 Oct 2025

Dead Dreams and a Drinking Problem

Dead Dreams and a Drinking Problem is exactly that. A comedy show about chasing dreams, facing self-doubt and drinking to numb the fear. Robyn Dunlop is a woman over 30, past her prime, her dreams should be dead, but she is still dreaming! She hilariously explores why she developed a drinking problem instead of chasing her dreams in her 20s and why she is most certainly not ready to give up yet!! Chasing dreams or drinking (just not as heavily)! This to-the-point, honest, looking herself in the mirror exposition has Robyn calling a spade a spade, and a drinking problem a drinking problem in an awkward, bold and rampant stand up comedy show some have called "Fabulous" and "Hilarious!". (And there may be a musical number!)
