About Louis King
Manboy is a one-person show from Louis King — one show, one story, one guitar, one performer grappling with a whole bunch of mental issues. Confused and comical in equal measure, Louis's sad but relatable story questions gender norms and explores how not knowing what you are isn't such a problem if you know who you are. The show is a rewrite of Louis's Free Fringe show of the same name. It runs for 50 minutes at Muse and is suitable for audiences aged 14 and over.
Why see this show?
A rare solo show that blends comedy, music and honest self-examination into something genuinely touching. Louis King's willingness to sit with confusion rather than resolve it neatly makes Manboy quietly distinctive.
