In a world where anyone can be anything…There is a comedy show that identifies as hilarious.

This show is for anyone who feels like they don't fit the narrative, don't fit the box or just don't feel like they are enough. A night of absurd, self-aware comedy that strips away society’s expectations and asks the big questions: Who are we supposed to be? Who are we really? And why does Daniel, deep down, just wants to be Jason Statham with hair.
