About this show
A one-man beauty contest in which I play all the parts and the audience pick the winner. What is a boy meant to be? It's a question on everyone's lips, and one I intend to answer once and for all in the fairest way I can think of: a beauty pageant! Mr Boy is a high-energy one-man show full of big silly characters. It's absurdist zany fun with something for everyone. I think you'd really get a kick out of it!
