Google Treehouse EntertainmentAbout the show
Jon Gracey performs Big Willy Energy, a 60-minute alternative comedy show at The Box, Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Gracey, known for No Rolls Barred, Werewolf: Live and The Magnus Archives, is a straight man with long hair and painted nails who is constantly mistaken for a lesbian. The show explores what it means to try to be a man and interrogates the sillier possibilities of modern masculinity through storytelling and comedy. Audiences should be prepared for audience participation, nudity and strong language.
Why see this show?
Gracey's premise — navigating masculine identity from the inside, with a YouTube commenter convinced he ate the hot dog not the bun — is told with a lightness that keeps the material funny rather than worthy. A good pick for fans of alternative and character-driven comedy.
