The Heterosexuals

“★★★★★… Comic genius… rarely have I enjoyed such a well written piece of theatre… an experience not to be missed.” The Irish Times

“★★★★★… Walker has an electric stage presence… a real joy to watch… priceless, playful, perfection.” The Reviews Hub

“Walker is a bonafide charmer onstage.” The Toronto Star

Tour-de-force writer/performer Johnnie McNamara Walker presents his newest, most personal, and most provocative solo show to date: a deep-dive into the shocking world of Heterosexuality!

THEY WALK AMONG US! But where did they come from? And what do they think they’re wearing? Find out in this explosive solo show based on undercover research gathered while posing as one of their own! Combining elements of storytelling, satire, comedy, and deep personal humiliation, The Heterosexuals is here to spill the T on what The Queers really think about The Straights.
