About the Project

“I have a strong feeling this will end up in my Top Ten of the festival. I already plan to see it again, and I genuinely believe it deserves to sell out every night.” – StageTakes

ABOUT THE SHOW

The Manosphere is pervasive, toxic, and dangerous – it’s also a natural consequence of not teaching boys how to relate to themselves and others.

But it’s not too late. Eleos Richard is a licensed Male Emotions Specialist who’s been described as “if Brené Brown was a member of Seal Team 6”. He runs the number one Alpha Male Bootcamp (that takes place in an unused parking lot behind the Container Store) in America and now you’re invited.

So bring your heterosexual husband, your heterosexual father, or your heterosexual gay best friend and watch them transform from emotionally flaccid adult boys into military grade empaths…at EMOTIONAL ALPHA.

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Andrew Knox is an actor, writer, and improviser who grew up in rural Vermont where the closest restaurant was a converted barn and the closest neighbor lived in a bus. He went to college to play football but, like so many linebackers, quit to do improv and acapella. Before moving to LA he wrote and performed in 4 original revues on The Second City’s Mainstage and ETC Stage in Chicago. More recently Andrew was named a New Face of comedy at the Just For Laughs comedy festival. He currently performs at UCB in Los Angeles. He’s also toured with The Second City’s National Touring Company and the highly acclaimed Improvised Shakespeare Company. Other favorite productions include “The Second City’s Almost Accurate Guide to America” at The Kennedy Center and the fully-improvised Off-Broadway musical “Blank! The Musical!at New World Stages.

He’s been seen on St Denis Medical, The Jimmy Kimmel Show, FOX NFL Sunday, as well as many national commercials.

 

REVIEWS FROM PREVIOUS PRODUCTIONS

 

“Second City revues often end up with dominant players, but Knox really is something here; his premium energy is the fuel on which the show runs and he’s especially adept at making you feel like he’s entirely in the moment and that anything can happen” – Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune

 

“Witty and likable in refreshingly unaggressive ways” – Ben Brantley, The New York Times

 

“The bearded redhead Andrew Knox impersonates Trumpian arrogance with sublime cool.” – The Washington Post
