This solo performance by Kevin Thornton has strictly autobiographical roots. It fuses music, spoken word and standup comedy into personal revelation.

The show concerns a young man being groomed as an evangelical minister, who suddenly comes to the terrifying discovery of his true sexual nature. Critics have found this rite-of-passage tale to be both bold and racy.

Thornton has a musical background with the underground New Wave band Waves on Waves and has been influenced in his autobiographical writing style by David Sedaris and Sandra Bernhardt.

Performed at Coffee Emporium May 28 and 30 and June 1, 3 and 6 (see map of Fringe venues here)
