One Woman Show: The Accidental Church Lady

SOLD OUT!!!!!

I’m bringing my one-woman show to the Longmont Library!

Mother’s Day is May 10! Making plans with moms in your life? Consider bringing your crew to a comedy show at the Library! Sheila K Chester brings an hour of comedy and storytelling about Midwest casseroles, purity culture aftershocks, and the plot twist of spending your life running from church… only to end up working in one and becoming a church lady. Add in infertility, marriage, parenting, and an all-women river trip where she tried to learn how to “chill” (with mixed results), and you’ve got a night that’s heartfelt, a little feral, and wildly relatable.  PG-13 humor.

One Woman Show: The Accidental Church Lady

Sheila Chester: A One-Woman Show

What happens when a small-town, church-raised, over-prepared, high-functioning woman starts asking better questions about faith, marriage, motherhood—and control?

Sheila Chester blends comedy, storytelling, and live music into a one-woman show that is as honest as it is hilarious. Through stories of church ladies, Midwestern rules, marriage to a German engineer, failed fertility plans, adoption, and a six-day wilderness river trip with 17 other mothers, Sheila brings audiences into the real, messy, and deeply human experience of trying to do everything “right.”

And what happens when it doesn’t work.

This is not just a comedy show.

It’s a shared experience for anyone who has:

  • tried to hold everything together

  • tied their identity to being the responsible one

  • questioned what they were taught about faith, success, or “doing life right”

  • and quietly wondered if there might be another way

With a mix of sharp humor, original perspective, and live music woven throughout, Sheila creates a room that is alive, connected, and disarming from the first moment.

You’ll laugh. You’ll recognize yourself. And somewhere along the way, you may start to loosen your grip on the things you were never meant to carry alone.
