Description

This show is a love letter to unique families, queer self-discovery and devoted fathers. This is not a stand-up comedy show (performed by reformed stand-up comedian Gara Lonning). Based on a true story, Gara takes the audience on an enchanted "Tilt-A-Whirl" by way of his humble Midwestern beginnings and NYC "comedy bro" upbringing. This show is a blast into another comedic dimension entirely complete with musical numbers, dancing wrestlers and electric 1980s camp. Welcome. Welcome to The Big Show.
