My One-Man Show 

 

What Could Go Wrong? the musings of an eccentric raconteur who happened to be at the right places at the right times’ (WCGW?), my mash-up, tell-all, homo hobo performance piece  is a play, partly scripted and with some improvisation, based on each night’s audience, with flexible running times  of 60 – 90 minutes, depending on the venue. Within that time frame smaller segments, each a self-contained story, which can run from 10-25 minutes. It is a very flexible show, suitable for small theatres, nightclubs and many other interesting venues - private parties, conferences, adult cruise lines, pop-up entertainment experiences ...WCGW? Is adult entertainment with scenarios some may find offensive and uses strong at times politically incorrect language. Some reviews have called the material ‘cringeworthy’. 

​

WCGW? has played six Fringe Festivals, a variety of theatres and clubs in the USA, UK and Australia, and has received outstanding reviews, social media coverage and interviews (review excerpts and interviews are on additional tabs within this site). In 2024 I penned a memoir, ‘LIAR, ALLEGED’, which became a #1 Amazon Bestseller, received stellar reviews and has made ‘The Best Books of 2024’ list of four major literary publications and won several awards. I have updated my solo show to include some of the controversial celebrity profiles contained within its pages, from my time working as a technical director and a hand-holder for many legends – Oscar, Emmy, Grammy, Golden Globe, Olivier and Tony award winners. My show is unfiltered and with shocking truths, but the show biz section is especially honest and revealing. It touches on my time as a money mule for the mafia, because in those days, show business and the mob were very much mixed together, primarily for money laundering. I’m too old to worry about a ‘horse’s head in my bed’, so I spill it all. 

​

The tagline for WCGW? is, “you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll demand a refund!”. Not for the faint of heart, I pull no punches and talk about sexual experiences, addictions, an abusive young life, helping break gay stereotypes, prison, robbing my mother in drag, show business, strippers, the mafia and so much more. Part of its appeal is the flexibility of dialogue based on audience reactions. Each performance is somewhat different, somewhat unique, within the framework of its narrative core. A funny, shocking, ‘I can’t believe he said that’, sometimes cautionary tale of things that went wrong.  I contend, “the truth is just a lie with an erection!”  Come see for yourself.
