I Can Do Bad All By Myself  is a 1999 play directed by, written by, and starring Tyler Perry. The play marks for the first official appearance of the well-known fictional character Mabel "Madea" Simmons, who is portrayed by Perry.

Vianne, a young woman who has a share of pain, moves in with her 68 year-old grandmother, Madea, in order to escape her verbally abusive and cheating husband. Soon after her departure, she files for divorce.

When Madea becomes sick, (although she is not as sick as she seems) the family comes to her rescue; her daughter, Cora; her next-door-neighbor Mr. Brown; also her granddaughter, Maylee, who also comes to visit her daughter Keisha that Madea has been taking care of since she was eight years old. However, Maylee casually strolls in and announces that she is engaged to Vianne's ex husband, Anthony.

After a nearly violent argument at the dinner table, Vianne realizes that she has to let Anthony go. Even though they are divorced, he still has her in his heart. No sooner than she lets him go, she realizes that her hurt has consumed most of her life and she needs to change her ways.

Bobby, a handy man and boarder who works for Madea, immediately makes it known that he is interested in Vianne. Much to their reluctance, they start to spend time together and they realize, even though she was once a rich foolish housewife and he, a lowly handy man and ex-convict, that when "it's right, it's right". Although grandma Madea has a few things to say about their relationship, she eventually encourages it. And Bobby realizes that he is in love with Vianne and he want her hand in marriage.

Meanwhile, Maylee finds out that her daughter Keisha got pregnant by a boy named Kelly and she's holding their child. But Keisha is only 14 years old. But through prayer, they both come to an understanding and forgive one another. In a shocking twist of events, Maylee breaks all ties with Anthony and sends him packing.
