About this Event

A Gay Masseur's Guide to Happy Endings

Fresh off a sold-out Provincetown run, A Gay Masseur’s Guide to Happy Endings returns for a limited workshop production in New York at the Chain Theatre. This darkly funny, biting, and deeply vulnerable solo show, written and performed by Austin Jennings Boykin, pulls audiences into the intimate, unpredictable world of a gay masseur navigating desire, identity, and survival.

Blending sharp humor with raw honesty, Boykin crafts a theatrical experience that’s as fearless as it is human — a portrait of self-discovery that’s both wickedly entertaining and emotionally unguarded.

Boykin, an actor and comedian seen on FX, Amazon, HBO, CBS, and countless comedy clubs, brings his singular voice and electric presence to the stage. The production is directed by theatre maker and producer Joe DeStefano, whose sensitive direction highlights the humor, heartbreak, and humanity at the show’s core.

A Gay Masseur’s Guide to Happy Endings is a bold, unflinching piece of theatre that invites audiences to laugh, squirm, and reflect — sometimes all at once.
