Pittsburgh Native Christine Blackburn's Comedic Homecoming

PITTSBURGH, PA - Christine Blackburn is staging a homecoming and you’re invited. The Gibsonia native and Duquesne University graduate is returning to Pittsburgh an appearance at the Arcade Comedy Theater, Downtown.

In “Surviving The Ride,” Blackburn will tell hilarious and heartfelt stories about becoming a flight attendant for USAir (remember them?), the ups and downs of the aviation industry, her Peace Corps experiences and confronting mortality head-on.

Blackburn, who now lives in California, also has been a TV commercial actress and has produced more than 540 episodes of the “Story Worthy” podcast. She also co-hosts “Screwed Up Stories” with Rachael O’Brien on Westwood One and is the creator of Story Smash, the story-telling game show played every month at The Hollywood Improv.

Blackburn also is the author of “PIT to LAX: My Story Worthy Life,” and has hosted USA Network’s Ready For the Weekend Movies. When she’s not busy with all of that stuff, she enjoys being a parent and is fond of sushi.

“Surviving the Ride” will be performed April 20 at 6 p.m. at the Arcade. Tickets are $15.
