No recording of any kind. We’re serious.

Yes debauchery of every kind. Period.

The Gnarlie Hose Show is, for better and for worse, a roundtable talk show where no topics are off-limits. Hosted by trans trickster Gnarlie Hose (Joey Soloway) himself and co-hosted by Billy's Bush (Marval Rex), with special guests Dolly Wells, Jari Jones and John Cameron Mitchell, the Gnarlie Hose Show discusses, dissects, and queers the news and events of the moment– from pop cultural dramatics to sociopolitical disasters, from intersectional feminist discourses to half-baked existential qualms, and from spiritual-cum-existential qualms to valiant visions for the fall of the failing patriarchy. Gnarlie Hose is the show you sat down to watch at the end of the night thinking it was Rachel Maddow and then realized that the Ketamine-LSD cocktail hadn’t worn off yet... or had it? This show weaves the legacy of iconic shows like Charlie Rose with trans performance art, like Harry Dodge’s Love Streams and Zackary Drucker’s The Skew.

Joey Soloway is best known for creating, writing, executive producing and directing the Emmy award-winning Transparent; directing and writing the film Afternoon Delight, which won Best Director award at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival; and producing Six Feet Under.

The show will be followed by a special dinner with the performers and Twenty Summers' member at Bacchus, a French bistro nearby. If you would like to join us for dinner, please reach out to development@20summers.org for more information.
