A Gay Masseur's Guide to Happy Endings

Austin Jennings Boykin • Professional company

60 minutes•Mint Studio
A broke actor in New York turns to “gay massage” to make rent. What follows is a darkly funny, unfiltered descent into sex work, addiction, blurred boundaries and the relentless need to be wanted. From awkward first clients to a night that spirals out of control, this brutally honest solo show explores intimacy, shame and survival in a world where attention feels like love. How far would you go to feel desired – and what happens when that’s all you know how to be?
