A STAN IS BORN! Unmissable six show run at Riverside Studios
Queer international musical comedian and TikTok sensation, Alexis Sakellaris, is set to take audiences by storm with A STAN IS BORN!, an original musical comedy exploring a queer kid’s obsession with pop divas and the search for the diva within.
Following a hugely successful sold out preview at Soho Theatre, 5-star reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and a sold out production at the Camden People's Theatre, A STAN IS BORN! returns to London for a six-show residency run at Riverside Studios, from 10-29 May.
The shows at Riverside are part of a wider tour, including performances at Edinburgh Fringe Festival (Gilded Balloon), Brighton Fringe Festival, Brooklyn Comedy Collective and Zurich Comedy Festival.
Written and performed by Alexis Sakellaris, A STAN IS BORN! features 10 original songs that follow Alexis’ drastic move from New York City to rural Germany, where an intense obsession with pop divas becomes their only salvation. Céline, Whitney, Mariah, Beyoncé, Gaga, Aretha. You name ‘em, they got ‘em. A true STAN.
Stuck in the middle of nowhere, Alexis makes it their mission to convert the local townspeople into stans too, all while searching for the real life divas in their midst. Join Alexis on a hilarious journey through culture clashes as they find out what it truly means to be a stan… and why it may not be so good for you after all.
