When David-Sedaris-wannabe personal essayist Carrol Thomas takes credit for his neighbor’s romantasy smut novel, fortune follows quickly. But fame isn’t easy when you’re an ethically corrupt gay guy.

When personal essayist Carroll Thomas takes credit for his neighbor’s romantasy novel, fortune follows quickly. But fame isn’t easy when you’re a bad person. R is for Writer is a breakneck farce about plagiarism and the cost of getting everything you’ve ever wanted.

WIG PAGEANT GRANDE FINALE SEASON 2: WHODUNIT?
On the evening of December 8th, former Wig Pageant Character Actor Supreme Daniel Murphy was assassinated on stage at the Toledo Mayor’s Mansion as a character acting pageant was set to begin. What happened next? Well, our six contestants became suspects and, I’m proud to announce, hilarity and hi jinx ensued. Leaving Lily Armstrong as the murderer and our new Wig Pageant Character Acting Supreme.
Goodbye Wig Pageant, you’ve been so good to us and the people of Ohio, but we think it’s time for Vince and Miss Charlès to find a different stage…

What a treat to be back in the Mini Apple getting to do my own show! This was an absolute dream, and it was the greatest time ever. So glad Corey and I are acquaintances.
Special shoutout to Corinne for suffering through our overextended bits, our manic pre shows, and our unwillingness to get to the cue line. Love you 💚
