He Who Laughs: Live

About This Show

Written by Isaac Oliver. Directed by David Ruttura. Performed by Isaac Oliver and special guests.

Isaac Oliver’s blog, hewholaughs.com, goes live in this hilarious, bawdy, and surprisingly poignant evening of stories and scenes. Ingeniously meshing the worlds of blogging and live theater, He Who Laughs: Live is a fun and fast-paced evening of tales from the blog. Issac brings to life a series of hilarious, bawdy and surprisingly poignant New York moments, celebrity crushes, scenes from casual sex, peeks behind a box office window and run-ins with a seductively anthropomorphized corporate coffee chain.
Deemed “a monstrous new talent” by New York Magazine, Isaac Oliver’s plays include Electra in a One-Piece, Eddie Goshen is Dead, Long Dirty Jokes, and Slim, Dancing Joy. His poetry has been published in The Full Spectrum: A New Generation of Writing About Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning, and Other Identities, a Knopf anthology. His blog, He Who Laughs, or The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Intimacy, can be read at www.hewholaughs.com.
