Chase Padgett
After four turbulent years, Chase Padgett returns to the Fringe with his most personal show yet. The Next Guy is a hilarious and deeply human story about surviving a midlife crisis, discovering a shocking love triangle you didn’t even know you were in, and rebuilding yourself after grief turns everything upside down.
Through Padgett’s signature mix of storytelling, music and jaw-dropping guitar work, this uplifting new show explores what happens when life forces you to become someone new… and maybe someone better.
Funny, raw, musical, and ultimately hopeful, The Next Guy is about losing everything you thought you were—and discovering who comes next.
5 STARS “Padgett is a master storyteller.” – Winnipeg Free Press
I love Chase and think he is a brilliant storyteller and musician. I never miss one of his performances. But I gotta say, this one had a bit of an ick factor that I found hard to swallow. I left just a little disappointed. It won’t stop me from seeing future shows though.
From his first performance of Six Guitars at our Fringe years ago, I’ve been hooked on Chase!! He’s a consummate performer ~ would not dream of missing his shows … ever!! He is the Real Deal ~ entertainer extraordinaire !!
Loved it! We have seen all his shows and this one was by far the most personal. Great storyteller, great musician, great entertainer. We will continue to follow his journey. Thanks for making our Fringe experience better every year.
Holy moly, I was blown away by this show! It’s my first time seeing Chase but it definitely won’t be my last.
Chase Padgett is a skilled storyteller and musician. We enjoyed his show last year and looked forward to his show this year. His timing as he shares his story is spot on, and the lyrics to his songs are brilliant!
A captivating storyteller and brilliant musician, this is another tender and moving glimpse into the Legend that is Chase Padgett.
Bravo.
This is the fifth Chase Padgett show that I have seen and they have all been exceptional. His show is the first ticket I book at the Fringe each year, and I’ve never been disappointed. Some shows have showcased his musical talents more, this one demonstrates his storytelling strengths/audience relatability – it feels much more personal.
This is my second Chase Padgett show and he is such a great storyteller.
I like many come to his performances for his singing and playing, but his story telling is what makes you have all the feels. His honesty and openness makes you almost feel guilty. Love this show
