Silver Fox
It’s minutes before curtain when America’s favorite “guncle” (gay uncle), standup comedian Joe Fox, finds himself cornered by his family in his dressing room. After touring the country at the mic, Joey returns for his hometown show with a secret: tonight he’s doing the show in full drag. Not everyone's thrilled. What follows is a comic debate between three generations of gay men about sex, sexuality, queerness, fluidity, age, race, performance, and “woke” culture.
