Miranda Sings: Selp Helf (2015)

Nov 16, 2015 1h 14m Comedy

Global YouTube sensation Miranda Sings (Colleen Ballinger) wants to help her fans become better people. Filmed at Seattle’s sold-out Moore Theatre, her debut special Selp Helf shares its title with Miranda’s New York Times Number One Bestselling advice book and features audience singalongs, instructional dancing and responding to hate mail. With help from Ballinger’s real-life sister Rachel and husband Joshua Evans, Miranda reaches beyond the satiric character’s signature malapropisms, misspellings and smeared lipstick to encourage confidence and empowerment in Mirfandas of all ages.
