Some people are late bloomers, and some people are even later than that. Then, there’s Gerry.
At age 5, a grown-up asked Gerry what he wanted to be when he grew up. “A co-med-di-dan.” Unfortunately, he didn’t realize what every co-med-di-dan needed…
Childhood trauma!
For decades, Gerry could not realize his dream of stardom. After piles of self help books, hours of therapy, and becoming a massive disappointment to his entire family, a very simple concept shattered his blocks – he never had a loving parent. Finally, 60 years later, he found one in the last place he ever thought to look… a room full of crazies and losers.
"Coming of Age At 65" made its world premiere in 2019 to overwhelming audience response and changed the dynamic of Gerry’s family for good. Now, witness a raw and hilarious Hollywood Fringe Debut. Find yourself in this joyous, poignant, honest journey through grief, addiction, and the overwhelming power of a second chance. This intimate solo show will inspire and delight anyone who has a dream, no matter how long they’ve been waiting for it.
