When life falls apart, sometimes all you can do is laugh. In Desperate, comedian and storyteller Esmond shares the wild, true tales of working survival jobs, nannying for the 1%, and questioning his entire life — all while trying to keep his dignity (and sense of humor) intact. This fast-paced, deeply personal solo show explores race, privilege, identity, and resilience with sharp honesty and sharp comedy. If you've ever felt like the punchline to your own life, Desperate will make you feel seen — and leave you laughing through the chaos.
