Eric Barry: No Homo is a stand-up comedy show presented by Eric Barry through the Free Festival at Upstairs as part of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The show runs 60 minutes and is for audiences aged 18 and over. Barry describes himself as a straight man — as straight as you can be as a former gay-for-pay escort. The show details his time as a poor student working the seedy underbelly of Craigslist's erotic services to pay his way through college, covering incidents from clients to explaining his work to the women in his life. The show examines gender dynamics, Bible masturbation and related territory with a raunchy and provocative approach. Tickets are £5.
Why see this show?
A genuinely raunchy and provocative stand-up hour that explores gender dynamics and identity through a very specific personal story. Edgy by design, but grounded in Barry's own experience rather than manufactured controversy.
