MYRA DuBOIS - Cosmic Empath
After a barnstorming 2024 which saw Myra sell-out venues across the UK and Ireland withher critically acclaimed show ‘Be Well’, registered empath MYRA DUBOIS returns to the stage with a brand-new show “COSMIC EMPATH’.
The empath strikes BACK! Boldly caring where compassion has never cared before. An adventure giving you time (and space) to heal. When questioned on her upcoming tour, Ms DuBois stated:
“Most people would spend some time idling on the shores of some far off semi-private island after enduring the workload 2024 dumped on my plate, but not me! How could I desert my public, right as I need them most? I’ve consulted my own wellness guide, the very Reverend Dr Guru Malcolm, and he tells me that right now every star of the cosmos is looking at me with expectation. I don’t think my new show COSMIC EMPATH” shall let them down!”
Cosmic Empath sees Myra DuBois questioning where her great gift for compassion comes from. Her up-bringing? Her ancestors? The COSMOS? Who can say? All we know is that with Myra’s trademark killer wit and a singing voice that’s truly like no-one else’s, it’s going to be out of this world!
“Acid tongued, funny to the bone” TimeOut London
“This queen is hard to beat, she has a sassy line about everything” Chortle
“With her at her sharpest and most devilishly acerbic. It leaves an impression that Myra DuBois is only just getting started..., Utterly brilliant in every way.” Attitude Magazine
