The Sourdough Starter You Ghosted

"The Sourdough Starter You Ghosted" is a character from "How Many Characters?", a one-person comedic tour de force that goes behind the scenes of the misunderstood, the neglected, and the utterly bizarre. In this original solo show performed at the 2026 San Francisco Fringe Festival, Rebekah Kouy-Ghadosh uses physical comedy, clowning, and original music to breathe life into the people and things you pass by every day. From the Sourdough Starter you’ve abandoned in your fridge to the real story behind Mrs. Peanut’s divorce—this jukebox of characters asks the hard questions: What lengths would you go to for social media fame? And, most importantly, what is wrong with your internet connection? Show Highlights: The Sourdough Starter You Ghosted: A blob with a serious chip on its shoulder. Mrs. Peanut, Divorceé: Setting the record straight on her split from Mr. Peanut. The Mona Lisa: The woman behind the world's most famous smile. Frozen Zoom Interviewee: Perfecting the "lagging internet" face for tough job interviews. Original Songs & Characterizations: A mix of musical comedy and theatrical storytelling. “How Many Characters?” is a celebration of taking up space, unapologetic character work, and the hidden lives of the objects and people we think we know.
