REVIEWS FOR THIS SEASON CRITICS CHOICE – TIMEOUT SYDNEY It’s funny because it’s true. Actually it’s scary because it’s true. It’s funny because it’s funny. – Timeout “A fine, balanced, compassionate, funny and touching piece of work.” – Arts Hub “A great Standup… lovely story-telling qualities…memorable one-liners” – The SameSame
Direct from the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Gay Conversion School Drop Out is a hilarious stand-up show that takes us behind the scenes of what really happened when Anthony’s wacky parents sent him to a Christian gay conversion school to rid him of his homosexuality.
We meet the colourful characters who inhabit Anthony’s story including his fellow students, the hapless recidivist facilitators and, not least of all, the people who sent him to Gay Conversion School in the first place… his passionately evangelical, born-again German mother and his unconventionally Roman Catholic Italian father.
Gay Conversion School Dropout tells the story of one man’s journey to find spiritual peace within the conflicting worlds of religion and sexuality.
The show explores and exposes the ironies of an organisation that, amongst other absurdities, attempts to cure homosexuality and promote abstinence by placing a group of sexually frustrated gay men together in a room to discuss their sexual fantasies and then insist they remain celibate! As if!
“Brilliantly funny.” – Threeweeks (UK) “Gay or straight, you’ll laugh your head off.” – Scotsgay (UK) As seen on America’s ‘Last Comic Standing’.
Recommended Age – 15+
