Patrick says “A Few Tales – Faerie & Otherwise will be me, on stage telling stories – my most at-home mode – honed over decades of hosting Patrick’s Cabaret. Many people have told me: You should write a book. Here it comes, but not on paper, on stage! More storyteller than writer, I resisted writing – too much computer time! I feel most alive and at ease telling stories, like I did at Patrick’s Cabaret. Voila – “A Few Tales – Faerie & Otherwise”.

The structure of “A Few Tales…” is based on TV’s “Jeopardy”. Behind each box is a story. The audience determines the flow of the show, choosing box by box among 6 categories, with 5 choices in each category to determine the evening’s stories. The 6 categories across the top are things like: Resisting Authority, Making Queer Art, Being Gay & HIV+, Being Naked, Creating Spaces, Wandering.

Patrick has been called a provocateur, free speech champion, impresario, raconteur, choreographer, performance artist, orator, storyteller, pioneer. And activist. He’ll be onstage telling these personal stories, and more!
