Description

A surreal, multimedia comedy odyssey from autistic, non-binary comedian Andrew Frank. Weaving together autobiographical stand-up, satirical sermons, puppetry, interviews, heartfelt monologues, home movies, travelogue video essays and original music, Frank traces their personal evolution from childhood in a fundamentalist Christian church to life as a queer performing artist. Named one of the Best Undiscovered Comedians in America by Thrillist Magazine, Frank's thoughtful and ecstatically funny jokes will be sure to captivate stand-up enthusiasts, aspiring comedians, lifelong artists, queer and neurodivergent folks, and anyone healing their own religious trauma through play, laughter, and collective joy.

Fab, really funny show! I really enjoyed the switching between jokes and monologues, and the way Andrew paints such ridiculous and funny pictures with their stories, definitely recommend!

A unique voice takes you on a journey of self exploration and identity. A moving personal story about healing and the importance of laughter. Through some deeply personal anekdotes Andrew invites you to have a look into their (often ridiculous) childhood. Entertaining as hell! (pun intended)
