Premiering at the 2025 Hollywood Fringe Festival in June 2025, How Do I Hold It? is a solo comedy show about trauma and the weird, sometimes hilarious ways people react when they experience terrible things. It’s a deeply personal story about healing and learning to trust yourself.

It was nominated for multiple awards, including the Freeway Circuit Award, which brought the show to the Electric Lodge in Venice Beach in July 2025.

Show description:
She was an overly curious Black girl in an Appalachian family that only rewarded piety. He was a Welsh pop star thirty years her senior, surrounded by supermodels and slipping post-structuralist theory into pop lyrics. Obviously, they were soulmates. Or so she thought.

In October 2021, Tabatha flew to England alone, heart pounding, armed with a lifelong crush and two tickets to an anniversary concert. Two days later, she arrived back in Philadelphia—even more alone, bruised, and reeling from a sexual assault by a stranger.

This solo hour traces the journey through the absurd mechanics of survival; from childhood obsessions and the cruelty of being ignored, to the disorienting comedy of trying to explain it all. With a relentless need to understand, Tabatha dives into the humor and heartbreak of what happened, how language failed her, and why—against all odds—she’s still laughing.

High praise for How Do I Hold It?:

“I loved the ease with which Tabatha interacted with the audience, and her writing is phenomenal. I felt as though I was binge-watching a new limited series on Netflix.”

“I felt deeply stirred not by spectacle, but by something far more dangerous: truth.”

“It reminded me of the power and vulnerability of being a woman. It shook my cage in all the best ways.”

“A very multi-layered show with space to laugh, cry, grit your teeth in anger, and then repeat all the steps again and again.”

“She successfully weaves together a show that is part hero’s journey and part magical thinking and all uniquely her.”

“Tabatha Myers takes us for a ride and shows us the tragic humor in it all. It’s a must-see!”
