Big Mouth writer/actor Brandon Kyle Goodman’s solo show,
The Latrell Show, takes a darkly humorous look at the mental gymnastics that come with being Black and queer in the country today through the eyes of the highly opinionated fictional talk show host Latrell Jackson.
Written and performed by the nonbinary actor, writer, and activist Goodman (who uses the pronouns he/they),
The Latrell Show was filmed on stage at the Pico Playhouse May 23, but is available for streaming through June 27 at the IAMA Theatre Company.
Co-directed by Stefanie Black and Devere Rogers,
The Latrell Show follows the fictional Latrell Jackson as he films a “very special” episode. The vivacious and gay Jackson begins the show with his usual series of rants, but as his topics expand to cover racism, trauma, prejudice, and other worldly matters, the show (and his character) are transformed into something far more powerful.
