Moth Story Slam champion Jamie Brickhouse’s award-winning, critically-acclaimed solo show Dangerous When Wet: Booze, Sex, and My Mother directed by Obie Award-winning David Drake (The Night Larry Kramer Kissed Me) is his alcoholic odyssey from small-town sissy to louche Manhattanite that’s wickedly intoxicating as he hits bottom and discovers he can’t escape the all-consuming love of his mother Mama Jean. A Texan Elizabeth Taylor with the split personality of Auntie Mame and Mama Rose, she never has a thought she doesn’t speak and unwittingly helps Jamie become an out, proud gay, HIV-positive man in recovery. Darkly comic, you’ll cry laughing. Washington Post calls it "as stylish as his slick sport coats. . . Brickhouse is a natural raconteur whose sharp writing defines the piece. . . one of the most polished one-man shows…this year.”
Based on Brickhouse’s (three-time Moth StorySLAM champion; voices on Beavis and Butthead) critically-acclaimed memoir that Interview called “as funny as an evening with Carrie Fisher,” and playwright Paul Rudnick praised as “witty, blisteringly honest, and wickedly intoxicating,” it was a FRIGID Festival “Audience Choice Award” winner and “Best Bet”.
