It´s a stand up show about; being raised by hippies, the fear of making a fool of oneself, about feeling like the only queer in school, playing Laserdome with your mom, when your kid calls you dad, about rainbow family life and the dream of starting a lesbian ”Robin Hood- gang” and living in the woods, maybe calling it L-wood and what would happen if cismen had periods? But also about stuff going on right now.
Fifty minutes stand up comedy with thoughts, pictures and one or two live emojis.
