Hi, Are You Single? Ryan J. Haddad

About This Show

Society assumes that people with disabilities lack sexual and romantic desires. In his new autobiographical solo show, Ryan J. Haddad shatters this misconception while navigating humor and hurt on his search for love. He enters the gay club ready for glamour and excitement, but he soon realizes his cerebral palsy makes him an outsider. The men he meets force him to confront his insecurities and examine his own judgmental behavior. But not everything is so serious! Grab a margarita and say hi to Ryan on Grindr. Give him a kiss if you’d like. There’s no need to be shy.
