Joseph Parsons presents 'Equaliser'; his debut hour of stand up comedy. His high energy storytelling captivates audiences with honest tales of love, sport and homosexuality.
With sell out shows at the Edinburgh Fringe and a regular favourite at some of the best clubs in the UK, Parsons is has been dubbed one of the 'Top 10 LGBT acts of the Fringe" (The EFC) and his material has been described as “very high energy, well-written material" (The Stand).
Equaliser looks at Parsons' relationship with sport. Growing up as a young closeted gay man in Somerset, his love of sport and his sexuality often felt at odds with each other. From the peculiarities of sports commentary, to the hilarious lengths Parsons would go to for love, this honest hour of stand up isn't one that skirts around the issues. Why are there so few publicly out LGBTQ sports stars? How are sports biggest organisations helping?
