ABOUT THE SHOW: Topher Payne’s comedy Angry Fags is about what happens when activism gets angry.
Cooper and Bennett feel helpless and frightened when one of their friends is the victim of an assault outside a local bar. Then, they feel something new: pure, unfiltered rage. Their rage erupts into action amidst an intense political campaign; as the best friends tread down a dark and hilarious path to rectify the wrong.
Angry Fags is an Oscar Wilde-meets-Tarantino fever dream about how good ideas go bad, with fascinating forays into American politics, bomb building, and pistachios. “It doesn’t get better. We have to MAKE it better.”
