“Nanette” meets “Baroness Von Sketch” in this queer comedy show, created by award-winning playwright and performer Elena Eli Belyea and Rapid Fire/Dang Dumb director and performer Sydney Campbell. Dad jokes, first dates and catcalls collide in this joyfully provocative premiere that will leave you breathless, whatever your pronouns.
“5 out of 5 stars”…”The introduction pulled no punches: “Gender is dead, welcome to the funeral.”…”If every funeral was this laugh-out-loud funny we’d dig up the dead three times a week just to bury the bastards again. See this show.”

“One of the last shows I caught at the Toronto Sketch Comedy Festival before COVID-19 shut it down was Elena Eli Belyea and Sydney Campbell’s truly endearing Gender? I Hardly Know Them, a playful blend of silliness and social commentary. “
