Have you ever

had to give up something you LOVE?

 

Smoker is award-winning solo artist Bob Brader's acclaimed comedy about his 28-year love affair with smoking and how they broke up. As he tries to leave his first love: “those sweet Camel lights” Bob realizes all the complex connections he has through smoking: how it helped him through a turbulent childhood, created jobs, opportunities and community, and one particular connection almost too precious to let go. At once hilarious and cautionary, Smoker is pertinent for anyone who has ever experienced an addiction and universal enough to appeal to those who haven’t.

Smoker won the Best Autobiographical Show Award at United Solo and was a Bestseller on Indie Theater Now. The London Free Press proclaimed:

“Smoker is Addictive Theatre:

It's 80 minutes of storytelling that feels like 30,

a feat few actors have the talent to pull off...

compelling theatre fueled by Brader's

masterful storytelling and acting talent,

a show that must not be missed!"
