Tim Miller makes a living traveling around the country talking about his life as a gay man in a way nobody else can. Usually getting naked in his solo one man performances, Tim weaves a tapestry of his personal experience mixed with decades of stories from being an AIDS activist with ACT-UP to fighting for gay marriage so he and his partner Alistair McCartney can live in the same country.
“For a quarter century, Tim Miller has worked at the intersection of performance, politics, and identity, using his personal experiences to create entertaining but pointed explorations of life as a gay American man—from the perils and joys of sex and relationships to the struggles of political disenfranchisement and artistic censorship,” says the jacket of his book.
I always think of french fries when I hear the word disenfranchisement for some reason. Am I weird?
Today Tim Miller comes over to talk about his brand new book “1001 Beds”; a raucous and rowdy exploration of Miller’s adventures in a performer’s life fiercely lived in his travels through love, politics and art.
Tim probably will be in a city near you, so be sure to check his tour schedule and go check out his shows. We highly recommend it.
