About this show
Benjamin Quirk has it all. Good hair. Hot boyfriend. Near non-existent waist. But death comes for us all – and for him it's coming sooner than he thought. At the ripe old age of 28, he's facing death one new chest hair at a time. Join Benjamin in this whirlwind, genre-bending new solo show as he feverishly chases immortality and begs for a redemption arc not seen since Christ himself. 'The masterful work of someone very smart making jokes that are very stupid' (Magazine6000.com). 'Messy, chaotic, effortlessly blending comedy with vulnerability' (List).
