Gut-busting, in-your-face comedy!

SYNOPSIS

Join Sutter as he propels through a kaleidoscopic odyssey through his childhood home, church, dive bars, seedy motels – and one riotously funny phone conversation about very inappropriate baby names. One of the most acclaimed satirical comedies in decades, Bootycandy is an audacious series of subversive vignettes that explore what it means to grow up gay and black in America.

Safety is Actor’s Express’s top priority. We recommend that all patrons are vaccinated against COVID-19 before attending and that they wear a mask when not eating or drinking.
