SEASON 15 ARCHIVE | August 2003
Cake Boy
An evening with Greg Walloch… Get a piece!
Cake Boy intertwines new stories with greatest hits from his original
acclaimed solo work White Disabled Talent. In the vein of Spalding
Gray, Sandra Burnhard and David Sedaris, Greg Walloch's show consists
of semi-autobiographical life and times monologues. On a bare stage,
stripped down and unplugged, the power of Walloch's work is simply
his story.
Recently voted one of New York Resident's Top 100 New Yorkers.
Others on the list: Edward Albee, Woody Allen, Hillary Clinton,
Norah Jones, Cynthia Nixon, Susan Sarandon and Jon Stewart.
"In the loveliest and most daring moments
of his show, he breaks down the fourth wall and invites a stranger
from the audience to dance... It's not often that the typically
rough-and-tumble atmosphere of the comedy stage softens enough
to allow such moments of delicate human tenderness." - Stephen
Holden, The New York Times
"One of the most profound pieces of comedy
in the most truthful way. Just wonderful!" - Jerry Stiller
