The Pulse of Entertainment: Comedian Daheli Hall Preps to Release ‘Spadura'
as a Comedy Special
(October 22, 2024) - "The pressures around motherhood and fertility,"
said stand-up comedian Daheli Hall about what her comedy show "Spadura" discusses.
"I started the show right after the (Covid) pandemic."
Daheli has taken her "Spadura" show on the
road from San Francisco and Los Angeles to New York and Washington DC, to Chicago, Atlanta and Miami and all in between. Around
the time of our interview, she had just presented "Spadura" at the Lyrics Theatre in Miami, before tapping the live
Los Angeles show.
"It was a live tapping for the special," the Florida native pointed out to me when I mentioned I
missed the show in Los Angeles.
I asked her what "spandura" meant and she said with a little laugh, "It's a teaser
you have to come find out!"
"It's a unique name...I give the meaning in Spadura," Daheli added. "It's a love
story."
The story highlights the baby industry complexities, and she
said it's semi biographical of her fertility journey. Navigating through the "I want a baby" stage in life
"I wanted
to make the show open ended," Hall said. "Show all the ups and downs."
"I am also a (WGA) writer and (SAG-AFTRA) actress. Between the pandemic and the strike, yes, the industry has
been affected," Daheli explained when I asked. "As an artist we just continue to make art."
Hall's credits include
Netflix's "Dear White People" and Fox's "Mad-TV" (13 seasons). She has written for CBS and VH1. Daheli
Hall also has award-winning shorts such as her HBO short "The Memo." www.Daheli.info
