Del Shores: Sorrid Confessions

By: Robert O'Neill
In-House Review - Aug 17 2012

Acclaimed, openly gay writer/director Del Shores (the creator of Sordid Lives and Daddy's Dyin' . . . Who's Got the Will?) is back with a brand new, hysterically funny special (see also: Del Shores: My Sordid Life). Filmed in front of a live audience at the Roseland Ballroom in Dallas, Texas, Del takes to the mic to deliver 90 minutes of side-splitting stand up.

Del dishes on sex, dating, religion, pop culture (including a hilarious recap and review of Bristol Palin's autobiography), strange police stories, his Southern upbringing, his 9-year marriage to a woman, his "slut" phase after first coming out, his recent divorce from his former partner Jason Dottley, his love of dwarves and amputees, his time working on " Queer as Folk ," the way in which he deals with bigots, the trials and tribulations of eating pussy and how, in general, his life has been like "a Tammy Wynette medley."

The crowd offers up exuberant energy and Del is on top of his game ? delivering a raunchy, refreshingly personal set that is sure to hit your funny bone.
