About the Show
What can a random collection of forgotten objects reveal?
Heather's Junk Drawer is a fast-paced blend of comedy, improvisation, original music, audience interaction, and surprising insight. Inspired by a genuine decluttering project, Heather pulls unexpected items from a very real junk drawer and transforms them into songs, stories, observations, and audience experiences.
The result is playful, highly adaptable entertainment that can be customized to fit a conference theme, organizational message, audience demographic, or event goal.
Whether opening a conference, energizing a luncheon, introducing a keynote speaker, or entertaining an audience between sessions, Heather's Junk Drawer creates an immediate sense of connection, curiosity, and fun.
