Laughed So Hard I Cried

Bryan is A masterful comedian, but the story goes way beyond stand-up comedy. He shares some incredibly difficult moments growing up in a family, where both of his parents were evangelical preachers, and he knew he was gay from a young age. His brilliant construction of sketch comedy vignettes to break up the heavy parts had me rolling with laughter. You gotta see this show!
