Joey is a Bad Gay. He can’t get into Drag Race, he’s never tried poppers and he’s never had sex with a man, and that’s the most important thing about being gay (right?)
A joyful, queer, coming-of-age one-man show about overcoming your fears.
But tonight is the night, and he is determined to make sure he will not die a virgin. Filled with Catholic guilt, internalised homophobia and fear of the local GAA lads, Joey embarks on a hapless quest to ‘get his hole’ before it’s too late.
Homo(sapien) debut play from Conor O’Dwyer, an Irish playwright and performer based in Edinburgh.
