"This guy's got star power," Variety magazine.

"Trying to Break a Leg" is an extraordinary one-person theater play starring the incomparable storyteller Patrick Combs, renowned for his previous smash-hit, "Man 1, Bank 0." This new production is a gripping, emotional rollercoaster that chronicles Patrick's relentless pursuit of his dream in the face of insurmountable odds.

   Patrick bares his soul as he recounts his tumultuous journey to create his first solo theater show. Over the course of a year, he faces countless failures, self-doubt, and the relentless temptation to give up. The narrative is a riveting blend of brutal honesty, humor, and deep emotional resonance.

   As Patrick's struggles intensify, the audience is taken on a heart-wrenching ride through the highs and lows of artistic pursuit. Yet, amidst the despair, a powerful theme emerges — the unyielding determination of the human spirit and the mysterious assistance of what might be called an unseen hand.

It’s a lesson in the resilience of the human spirit and a reminder that sometimes, it’s the journey, not the destination, that truly matters.
