Fat Faggot Ben Langhorst

About This Show

In this comedic musical vareity show, you are lovingly invited into the life and mind of Ben Langhorst, a fat faggot. Through dramatizations of real life experiences, satirical sketches, and humorous songs, Fat Faggot gaily examines the joys and pitfalls (let’s be honest: mostly pitfalls) of being a fat homosexual man in New York City. Join Ben as he rails against society – and himself – for creating the fat faggot that you see before you.
