Straight Talking : Turan Ali's solo show at Volkstheater

Volkstheater & Vienna Storytelling Collective present
The outrageously funny, shockingly candid, complete and utter slut,
**Turan Ali**
in his new queer comedy-storytelling show
**STRAIGHT TALKING**
written and performed by Turan Ali, the host and producer of Volkstheater’s hit show TRUE STORY NIGHTS
What the critics have said:
**⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐** “Utterly fabulous.” (The Q Review)
**⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐** "An absolutely splendid human … a masterful storyteller." (The Wee Review)
**⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐** “Like the best stand-up comedians, his material has been tried, tested and perfected for an audience. It was a joy to watch.” (Broadway Baby)
**⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐** “Highly recommended…. entertaining, educational and emotive.” (Fringe Review)

**Turan Ali** is an acclaimed stand up and storyteller from the United Kingdom, based in Vienna with a very Turkish name and a big mouth. He writes, produces and directs drama and comedy for the BBC, and performs on stage throughout Europe. He hosts and produces Volkstheater’s hit storytelling show **True Story Nights** which is now in its third year of sold out shows. You’re in for an evening of high quality, intelligent and provocative comedy and stories.
His material makes sense of having a Turkish Muslim father, an Austrian Catholic mother, growing up in London, going to a Jewish school, and being gay and proud of it. But not all parts of his world cope so well with that pride. In his new solo show, Straight Talking, he shines a light on some of the crazy ways heterosexuals run their lives and relationships. He surprises audiences with many things he claims straights can learn from gays.
The show mixes stand-up comedy, performance poetry, songs and outrageous stories, delivering silliness, surprising confessions and provocative claims, all delivered very queerly, through straight talking. But, however funny it is, can you handle the truth? (Performance in English for audiences of 18+).
