Funny at the Fringe - interview - Morgan Rees: Bi and Large

My show is mainly just an hour of gags and short stories. All told through the vehicle of a coming out story, which touches on growing up with a feeling of others, and lack of role models. An the journey of raising your awareness once you come out.
