Residence Life Council presents “Trashed”, an alcohol awareness event, by comedian Wendi Fox. 

Inspirational comedian Wendi Fox was a natural with the party lifestyle and admits that until her early twenties her excessive and reckless behavior created an assembly line of alcohol related problems. Based on her personal experiences, “Trashed” takes a mind bending but funny look at all of the bad plays in a youthful game of reckless roulette and how her dysfunctional childhood, youthful optimism, and drunk logic lead her to tragic people and frightening places. It is also the inside story and testimony of three generations of people on both sides of the family tree, who have struggled with alcohol abuse and high-risk drinking, as well as what they’ve learned and what they’ve lost.

“Trashed” is Wendi’s story, but how to celebrate safe is her message. It is a funny and wickedly truthful look at the drunk and dangerous journey of a young high-risk drinker, who compromised her safety and the safety of her friends in the pursuit of a good time. It is a roller coaster ride of comedy and catastrophe all slammed together, a compilation of hysterically funny, hindsight-full observations of unhealthy choices, dangerous circumstances, lessons learned, and a journey through personal reinvention.
