In a desperate attempt to prove they can think about someone other than themself, Morgan Bassichis revisits queer comedian, musician and performance artist Frank Maya’s 1987 show, Frank Maya Talks, which also took place in the Club at LaMaMa. Maya was among the “first out gay comedians on network television” and on the precipice of mainstream success before his death from AIDS-related complications in 1995. This new “solo” performance humbly attempts to ensure Maya’s legacy is no longer overlooked while also resolving the bottomless queer search for laughter in times of crisis and for fame and father figures and intense attachment dynamics no matter how fleeting.
