Friendliest

FRIENDLIEST, written & performed by Drew Lausch (SHOWTIME, MTV, FALLON, PRIME VIDEO), is “a darkly funny and emotionally raw journey that centers on a self-destructive comic book artist trying to birth the first-ever queer superhero: “Fagman.” The character, equal parts vigilante and vulnerability, is Lausch’s fictional foil for unpacking his messy life in Fargo, North Dakota. But don’t mistake this for just another one-man show. Under the direction of Jenny Leon, FRIENDLIEST weaves stand-up, storytelling, and theatrical monologue into a fast-paced spiral through Lausch’s past traumas, small-town drama, and creative compulsions. It’s queer, it’s cathartic, and yes, it’s funny as hell.
