About Wes McClintock
Wes McClintock presents this musical comedy drama at Clover Studio. Wes was born a different colour than most due to a strange occurrence at birth, and although he survived seemingly unscathed, he wonders if the event changed his brain chemistry. He takes audiences on a musical and comedic journey through his unique life — from his odd family members, to performing stand-up comedy, to participating in drug studies to make ends meet. Reflecting on the traumas that formed him at a young age, he hopes that instead of hiding, we can share our pain openly and heal together. The show runs for 60 minutes and is suitable for ages 16 and over.
Why see this show?
A musical comedy that begins with an unusual origin story and ends somewhere genuinely moving. Wes McClintock brings warmth and honesty to difficult material, making this both funny and quietly affecting.
