about the show
Experience an awkward evening with Josh Sundquist, featuring a live performance of the hilarious storytelling and comedy that has earned him over 500 million views online
COOL BUT like WHAT IS it?
Bestselling author, comic, and Paralympian Josh Sundquist tracked down all the girls he'd ever tried to date to ask why they rejected him. He shares the results of his semiscientific investigation (and yes, unfortunately it's a true story) in this one-of-a-kind live performance that blends interactive storytelling with standup comedy. From a disastrous mini-golf date involving a backward prosthetic foot to a misguided "grand gesture" at a Miss America pageant, it’s a real life romantic comedy about looking for love—or at least a girlfriend—in all the wrong places.
