PRAISE FOR BOOTYCANDY

“A searing and sensationally funny comedy about the sometimes poisonous attitude toward homosexuality in black culture . . . Bootycandy is as raw in its language and raucous in spirit as it is smart and provocative.”

—New York Times

“Insanely entertaining . . . Bootycandy is basically a spiritual autobiography through satire, loosely tracking the life of a gay black boy named Sutter from childhood through his professional success as a playwright.”

—Vulture

“Arrestingly original in so many ways . . . O’Hara deliberately walks an uncomfortable line between humor and its opposite, which lends added punch and an air of the unexpected to Bootycandy.”

—Boston Globe

“Funny, smutty and, on the whole, enticingly subversive . . . Bootycandy is a toxically satiric portrait of American life, as it is experienced by someone who is black and gay.”

—Washington Post

“Trashing and lashing out at racial, cultural and sexual stereotypes isn’t new. But this vision gets credit for its smarts and unruliness. O’Hara doesn’t scrub or sanitize his satire one bit . . . this show is delectably un-PC and potty-mouthed.”

—New York Daily News

“Largely inspired by writer Robert O’Hara’s own experience . . . Bootycandy is a raucous romp made up of a series of loosely connected vignettes . . . Sassy, saucy, occasionally graphic and irreverently funny.”

—New York Post
