The stand-up poet, reluctant bear and attempted vegan strips… away labels of life, love, the arts and in the LGBTQ+ community in this fast-paced, honest and hilarious debut. Under constant pressure from marketing people to decide whether he is a comic or poet, Dan navigates through the confusing world of definitions. It’s not quite a poetry show, it’s not quite a comedy, show it’s ‘Genre Fluid’.
