Over the past three decades, Susan Wojcicki had a knack for seeing a startup's potential. Her intuition helped shape the growth of YouTube and Google.

In his new one-man show “Trying to Break a Leg,” Combs relates his year-long rollercoaster of dreams and disastrous attempts at creating his first theater show that will leave audiences laughing through tears. A love letter to theater, it will inspire anyone who’s ever had a dream to create something no one thought they could. A show about making a show, workshop audiences have called “Trying to Break a Leg” a masterpiece that is deeply emotional, brutally honest, and utterly inspirational. About "Trying to Break a Leg" Patrick is determined to craft the masterpiece of the century, but be warned, it’s a comedy of errors that’ll keep you in stitches. He is a guy with more ambition than talent, and a stubbornness to rival a mule. Watch in awe as he battles a terrible script, awful performances, and a lack of theater knowledge that sabotage his every move. Witness the audacity as he refuses to throw in the towel, even when his “comedic monologue” has nobody laughing. From failed performances to soul-crushing obstacles, Patrick’s new show is a masterclass in the art of failing forward. His sheer persistence, though often painful to watch, becomes the stuff of legend. It’s a lesson in the resilience of the human spirit and a reminder that sometimes, it’s the journey, not the destination, that truly matters. Brace yourself for an evening of side-splitting misadventures, poignant setbacks, and a hero who can’t be stopped, no matter how hard he tries. Get ready to laugh, cry, and be inspired by the comedic courage of Patrick refusing to give up on his dream, no matter how comically calamitous the journey. Performance Schedule: Thursday, Nov. 30 at 7 p.m. (sold out) Friday, Dec. 1 at 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 2 at 7 p.m. Patrick Combs on Facebook
