I Fear Love

Photography by Chelsey Stuyt

First performed at the 2024 Vancouver Fringe Festival

Winner of the Artistic Risk Award

“The show where I wear my heart on my sleeve. Watch me take it, eat it and break it on stage. It might even skip a beat.”

I Fear Love is a solo show – a mishmash of game show, live comedy and memoir with a sprinkle of ted talk and choose your own adventure. Drawing inspiration directly from my personal life about love - it’s pretty much about romance and me. My hope is that it'll be both unashamedly and ashamedly honest, tender and vulnerable in its details, and lots of fun :)

“I didn’t fear love—I feared the show ending. Watching Katie Voravong on stage felt like reading the diary of an incredible young individual, like you are witnessing something you shouldn’t. Hilarious, vulnerable, and jaw-dropping, Katie has penned a wise, sassy, and breathtakingly contemporary love letter to love itself. When my hand wasn’t covering my mouth, it was over my heart. Wow."
