Beth Lapides is an alt comedy guru, author, yogi and creator of the groundbreaking comedy show Un-Cabaret and The Comedian's Way workshop. In her new show "100% Happy 88% of the Time" she navigates the slippery slope of these rapidly changing times on pages, stages, screens. And she does it with an upward facing attitude.
Beth's blog reflects her wide ranging interests and her feeling that despite the insane level of difficulty, The World Is So Exciting Right Now! She connects woo-woo with edge science and the spiritual frontier to daily life. She interprets, questions, deconstructs, inspires and analyzes. And she does it in all high heels. Or in barefeet. But never in flats!
"100% Happy 88% of the Time" is a turned-on tour-de-force from paradigm-shifting entertainer Beth Lapides. It's a feel good, harmonic convergence of story, stand-up and songs. A multi-media mash up of music, musing and metaphysical magic.

100% Happy 88% of the Time is alternative comedy queen Beth Lapides’ new highly anticipated multi-media extravaganza.
In her groundbreaking live show, Beth integrates quantum and conspiracy theory with massive metaphysical mind stuff, original song-stylings and personal narratives, marked by the trademark unconventional comedic sass she developed while hosting the legendary Un-Cabaret.
In 100% Happy 88% of the Time, Beth leads us boldly into the “Now Age,” where she connects swiftly spinning and otherwise invisible proverbial dots between personal change and our globally – nee, galactically – shifting consciousness. Her infectious upbeat sparkle combined with her visionary ideas about that dangling conceptual carrot called happiness and how the hell to embody it while surfing these tsunamis of change we’re all swimming in these days add up to one dazzling night of inspiring entertainment.
