About Hi, Are You Single?

Exploring the complicated intersection of romance and disability from his unique perspective as a gay man with cerebral palsy, Haddad’s one-man show takes you on a roller-coaster ride through New York’s gay dating scene, where the highs are high and the lows are lonely. He hits the clubs and bars expecting glamour and excitement, but soon realizes his cerebral palsy and his walker make him an outsider. With equal parts humor and hurt, he examines everything from Grindr, drag queens and go-go dancers to intimacy, rejection and judgment. His one request? Bring an attractive male friend with you.
