The
Land of Misfit Toys
A Year Ill Spent in LA
By Karen Loftus
The Land of
Misfit Toys is as series of surreal stories captured in the voice
of international comedian Karen Loftus. An American Bridget Jones
with the acerbic New York wit of David Sedaris, Loftus captures
the social slant of a situation and a city with Orwellian layers.
It’s a year in the life of a comedian on the run from herself
and for her life. As her year unravels in LA, so does she.
The Land of
Misfit Toys will appeal to a wide and diverse audience capturing
your hip urban demographic as well as the wide-eyed curiosity in
the suburban sector. Capturing David Sedaris’ crowd and sating
the universal appetite in The Sex and the City audience, Misfit
is fun, silly and socially informative.
Karen Loftus,
an international comedian, award winning playwright and Tennessee
William’s Fellow has performed all over the world. Her plays,
“The Color of My Dreams”, “It’s a Man’s,
Man’s, Man’s, Man’s World”, “Barbie’s
Dolls”, “I’m Not the Blonde You Think I Am”
and “American Woman” have been performed in New York,
LA, London and in theaters and festivals around the world.
