Exit Wounds is an autobiographical solo show that blends dark comedy, vulnerable storytelling and raw confession to explore what happens when the life you planned falls apart and something truer begins to emerge. Through moments of humor and heartbreak the piece traces one man’s reckoning with addiction, denial, identity leading to a late-in-life awakening to love and self-truth. What follows is the collapse of a perceived authentically lived life under the weight of illusion and loss of control. The culmination of the lived experience resulting in the unglamorous work of facing one’s self and rebuilding a life in sobriety. Exit Wounds examines the scars we all carry, the stories we tell ourselves to survive, and the unexpected growth that can come from being pierced rather than protected. It’s not a redemption story wrapped in a neat bow. It’s an honest portrait of becoming after outgrowing identities- funny, fractured and human.
