Guy Branum on Telling Queer Stories
Comedian Guy Branum is currently touring his new show, Be Fruitful, which explores his identity as a gay, fat man and the societal pressures that come with it. The show is more than just a stand-up comedy routine - it’s a coherent narrative that challenges the traditional storytelling norms centered on heterosexuality and reproduction. Through his comedy, Branum aims to redefine what it means to live a life outside of societal norms. Despite being an omnipresent figure in pop culture, Branum admits he struggles with striking a balance between his different roles.
