Barry Champlain, Cleveland’s subversive and controversial radio host is on the air doing what he does best: insulting and provoking the sad souls who call in the middle of the night to sound off. On an evening that could determine IF his show goes into national syndication, will Barry’s outrageous behavior and commentary cause his sponsors to cancel and his personal life to further unravel???
Funny, moving and totally original, this high voltage production is recommended for mature audiences.
A compelling work that draws you straight into the heart of its fringe world. It makes the call-in show a metaphor for America’s lost souls.
