Coming Out to Dead People

Comedian Ricky Sim (New York Comedy Festival, Asian Comedy Festival) is bringing his hit one-man show COMING OUT TO DEAD PEOPLE to Los Angeles for one night only - Saturday May 31st at 7pm at The Elysian.

Following sold-out shows and multiple rave reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe, London's Off-West End Soho Theatre, and New York's Soho Playhouse, COMING OUT TO DEAD PEOPLE is a chaotic stand-up about growing up as a gaysian immigrant in New York and coming out to his conservative Chinese-Malaysian mom… just as she was diagnosed with cancer.

Combining stand-up and storytelling, Ricky's autobiographical hour explores grief, secrets, and queer joy. COMING OUT TO DEAD PEOPLE chronicles growing up as a gaysian in the noughties in New York, learning how to keep his first boyfriend with the help of rapper Sean Paul, and navigating the complexity of coming out alongside the intersection of racial and cultural identity. It's deeply personal, making a performance at a queer-inclusive/safe space in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia an especially profound experience.
