Book excerpt: "Breedlove has talent coming out of her ears.”—Dodie Bellamy, San Francisco Chronicle "Uninhibited humor lends tender insight and perspective to a gender politics debate that often takes place in a fiercely contentious atmosphere.”—Billy Tania, The San Francisco Bay Times "...Offers hilarious, gender-bending comedy that will spread much mirth among your LGBT friends.”—Tucson Weekly Through the unusual vehicle of gender-bending comedy, Lynn Breedlove asks his audience, "Who truly owns and defines the body: self, family, or community?” Based on his critically acclaimed comedy performances, this laugh-out-loud collection of outrageous writing celebrates a lifelong defiance of categorization. With universal appeal, aimed at "Everyone who wants to be able to laugh at their preconceptions about themselves and others,” the distinctive humor in Lynnee Breedlove's One Freak Show delightfully enlightens while challenging societal norms about love, identity, and community. "Am I a man or a woman? What are you askin' me for . . . Do I look like I know?” Lambda Literary Award finalist Lynn Breedlove is known as lyricist and front thang for the queer punk band Tribe 8, and he is the author of the speed-driven bike messenger novel Godspeed. He has toured throughout the United States and Europe as a musician and comic performer. Winner of a Heritage Award for Creativity, Breedlove currently resides in San Francisco.
