In this new solo comedy, Doug is turning 41. He's visited by friends, nightmares, a few exes, and a ghost. Imagine a gay Christmas Carol/modern day exorcism set in a wine bar in Silverlake. Welcome to the party!

Quirky, Entertaining, Funny

See it if you'll enjoy seeing Drew Droege in another 1-man show. He is fun to watch & captures all the characters at a gay man's bday party charmingly

Don't see it if You're offended by a little raunch or need more than one actor on stage.

Slight, Very gay, Great writing, Great acting, Funny

See it if You like gay humor and one man shows. Talented actor, playwright Drew Droege portrays a series of guests at novelist Doug’s birthday party

Don't see it if This show is very gay-centered, from the characters, to the references, to its sensibility. At an hour long, it feels flimsy. Has no plot. Read more
