ABOUT
-----------
Drew Anderson is gay/exhausted.
Ready for Bed will take you on an intimate journey into the life and (very) minimal success of a young man who is ready to retire. Join Drew for a gorgeous evening of stand-up, film and music about Mandy Moore in old lady theater makeup. He will be joined by special guests Marcia Belsky and Sam Taggart, including an opening set with his ACTUAL grandma. Can you even imagine?
