About the Show

A dark brunch comedy where murder meets the chaos of white gay culture.

Messy White Gays follows Brecken and Caden, who have just killed their boyfriend and hidden his body inside a Jonathan Adler credenza—hours before friends arrive for Sunday brunch in Hell’s Kitchen. Written by Drew Droege, the play satirizes contemporary gay culture through a mix of domestic farce and social commentary, as throuples fracture, neighbors feud, and class, beauty, and desire collide.

This production contains explicit language and suggestive references to drug use. Recommended for ages 16+.

"Messy White Gays is the must-see gay comedy of the season and one of the funniest shows of the year. It’s outlandish, it’s campy, and honey, it just might be about you."

"much of the audience frequently screamed with mad laughter at this 80-minute charade’s trashy talk and tawdry doings."

"Droege has loaded his comedy with lots of one-liners, most of which detonate the theater with laughter. A few miss their mark, and that’s when the performances work overtime to massage those rare moments of awkward silence."
