Bimbos Save the World hosted by Quetzala Carson

Bimbos Save the World is an improvised late night musical playback show where changemakers get into bed with Quetzala Carson each night to talk love, sex, impact, intimacy, and changing the world.

Before the show starts, audience members can write down a Bimbo Confession or a Bimbo Breakthrough that will be incorporated into the closing number. A Bimbo Confession is a messy, toxic, or chaotic moment from their life. A Bimbo Breakthrough is a moment when they learned, healed, grew, or chose something better.

Each performance features a different guest making a difference in Alberta. They may be an artist, organizer, advocate, helper, leader, or someone doing care work in their community. Through a live conversation, Quetzala and the guest explore the tender, funny, messy, and human parts of trying to make change while also wanting to love and be loved.

Their experiences, reflections, and big feelings are transformed in real time into improvised scenes and songs by the Intersectional Improv Ensemble and Band led by Tea Fannie.

The show blends interview, comedy, musical improv, and playback theatre. It moves back and forth between conversation, scenes, songs, and playful reflections. Near the end, Quetzala and Tea read selected Bimbo Confessions and Bimbo Breakthroughs from the audience. The band and ensemble use them to create the final song of the night.

Every night is different because every guest brings a different life, love story, and way of impacting the world.

Bimbos Save the World celebrates the truth that you do not have to be perfect to be impactful. You can be messy, hot, confused, sincere, absurd, tender, hilarious, and still be part of making the world better.
