Shells

Artist Description

"Heartbreakingly real and hilariously relatable...Written with sharp detail and wit"
-Time Out New York

"SHELLS draws a loyal audience, eager to yell out some advice"

-The New York Times

"SHELLS is a true original that must be seen to be believed."

-The New York Post

"A more pathetic Carrie Bradshaw for your laughing pleasure"

-The Village Voice
 
Michelle "Shells" Hoffman
is ready to shed her 9-to-5 facade and prove she has what it takes to become an international pop sensation. Performing elaborate, original numbers ranging in style from Lady Gaga to Radiohead,  this Carrie Bradshaw wannabe challenges the audience with her audacious, bold style. When matters of her personal life are brought up, the show takes an unexpected turn. Armed with a glass of Shiraz and a penchant for drunk-dialing, Shells leaves audience members laughing deliriously, saying: "I know her," or worse, "I am her!"

Love the photo, Shells! Meow! Can't wait to see what kind of disaster happens on stage this time around. The show is freakin' hilarious...and a little upsetting.

Had such a great time Tuesday night at Shells. Loved the harrasing of the poor Italians up front and her balls out rendition of Beautiful People. More more more!

Shells is the most original and funny act I've seen since moving to New York. Been to the show 3 times and can't get enough.
I would request that she sing more Lou Reed. So great!
