ABOUT THE SHOW
Izad Etemadi has spent most of his life explaining himself to others. His ethnicity, his sexuality, the pronunciation of his name.
But as an elder millennial dealing with back pain and digestive issues, he doesn’t have the time or energy to keep explaining things.
Through jokes, songs, and deeply personal stories, this queer Iranian-Canadian immigrant born in Germany is going to attempt to explain his entire existence in sixty-ish minutes, so he never has to do it again.
AUDIENCE ADVISORY: This play discusses racism, homophobia, terrorism, religion, and features a fair share of swearing. Viewers may experience therapeutic laughter and should not start the show with a full bladder. Recommended age 13+ years.
“[Izad's] character work was divine” – Broadway World
“Scene-stealing” – The Globe and Mail
“Etemadi could weave a tale about a hangnail and leave his audience breathless” – View Mag
“Comedic genius is on display” – The Chronicle Herald
