HOW FREE IS YOUR LOVE? You're about to find out... Every. Single. One of you.
Beware. Red Bastard is back! The dangerous, seductive comedy monster returns to New York with a brand new show to expose the lies we tell our lovers and those bastards who made us to lie in the first place.
Do you dare enter his funhouse of twisted reflections? Love, Lust, Fear and Freedom await as the UK's most controversial clown seduces you with the shocking truth about the liars sitting right next to you.
TRIGGER WARNING: The author himself hesitates to present this show! Not only is it despicable. Its embarrassing. Its complicated- with no easy answers and no happy ending. In fact, the only possible reason you would come to this show is
Its a show about you.

Could one man have all this power? Only those who enter may know.
Those who pay the price may expect games, traps and a very Dirty Pony as the Bastard you thought you knew transforms before your very eyes. It's the truth! Well, most of it...
