What I didn't like

it worked for me!

My overall impression

A raw, intimate, & hilarious look into one man’s journey to becoming a ‘professional gay’. Michael floats seamlessly between the bawdy and the poignant in this exuberantly executed piece. I laughed out loud so many times as he shared his sexual experiences which ranged from alone time in his room to multiple encounters through the dating apps and back again. I loved his inventive use of props, but beware that if you sit in the front row, you may get sprayed by a sticky substance :) It’s not until you are well into the piece that you come to realize that all of the raunchy fun has drawn you into Michael’s most intimate world, where he confides feelings of fear, triumph, loneliness, and ultimately growth. A sensitive portrait of a young gay man coming into himself.
