As a follow up to the insanely popular A Field Guide to the Gays, Logan Donahoo lets us fully explore him in this new Fringe show.
Donahoo starts the show by discussing his one disappointment from his run last year, his lack of dates.
He then invites an audience member on stage and shares stories from his life, almost feeling like we are in the Q&A portion of a date.
As a long time Fringe favorite, many would say Donahoo was made to be in the spotlight — almost like he was born from a fabulously sparkly Faberge egg. But, the glitter ovo-rumors are untrue.
Donahoo’s birth and life seem to relate to many heartrending Lifetime Channel dramas, but he still finds a way to bring humor to the tales of his youth in this multi-media adventure.
Donahoo is placed under the care of his grandmother and great grandmother. With their help, he is guided to be whatever he wants to be, even though he will face many obstacles along the way.
From being socially excommunicated in Catholic School from the more privileged students and jocks to dreading being bullied while attending public high school because of his coming out, he tells of how during his high school days he found his tribe — the groups of kids who allowed him to find his niche.
There many factors that allowed Logan to become the talented performer and activist he is today. Logan has a very unique way of making us laugh despite some of the serious matters he’s faced in his life. Aside from being a lesson to Logan, this is a lesson to life. Logan, in a sense has become a guru of life through his story telling. Not telling you how you should to live your life, but mainly how to enjoy and actually live it.
