Come experience the titillating and charming story behind San Francisco’s first and only all-male gay revue. A melding of theater, dance, and burlesque, Baloney has become a nightlife staple, interrogating the local queer experience with humor and fantasy. Director Joshua Guerci’s winning exposé is a delightful look into the lively, hunky troupe that makes these shows possible.

Finding his tech job unrewarding, Michael Phillis decided to quit his job and throw himself into his true passion. Developed by Phillis and partner Rory Davis, Baloney quickly began to attract adoring crowds with its skillful balance of bawdy humor, clever fantasy, and frisky fun—while playfully subverting popular notions of gender and masculinity and celebrating body positivity. Baloney introduces us to the show’s colorful cast, a diverse mix of artists including financial analysts, sex workers, a woman, and a couple straight dudes. Offering a behind-the-scenes peek at their rehearsal process and live performances, Guerci’s rollicking look into the sex-positive world of Baloney promises a flamboyant, titillating time for all.
