    McGonigel's Mucky Duck presents Becoming Kinky: The World According to Kinky Friedman. A World Premiere!

    Ted Swindley Productions in association with Melanie Clark, Lanfour Productions and Houston’s own Carolyn Farb announces the World Premiere of Becoming Kinky: The World According to Kinky Friedman (Based on the Writings and Music of Kinky Friedman) by Ted Swindley, creator of Always...Patsy Cline. Mr. Swindley, also known to Houston audiences as the founding director of Stages Repertory Theatre, has created an exciting glimpse into the life of the iconic author, musician, and philanthropist Kinky Friedman.

    Becoming Kinky: The World According to Kinky Friedman covers a myriad of “Kinky” topics like “Big Hair For Jesus,” “You Can Lead a Politician to Water but You Can’t Make Him Think,” and “Strange Texas Laws.” Audiences are treated to unforgettable songs such as “Marilyn and Joe” (Monroe and DiMaggio), "Get your Biscuits in the Oven (and your Buns in the Bed)", They Ain't Making Jews like Jesus Anymore".

    The play is a poignant and hilarious journey into the mind of one of America’s most fascinating contemporary characters. 

    “One of my favorite people is Kinky Friedman. This Texas phenomenon, who ran for governor and should have been elected if the Lone Star State’s voters had any sense, has his work back on the boards.” – Liz Smith

    Three actors portray Kinky in the different chapters of his life. Although Mr. Friedman does not appear in the production, he has given his blessing to the production of Becoming Kinky: The World According to Kinky Friedman.

    *Kinky Friedman does NOT appear in this show, but from time to time, Kinky will be in the audience.

    Ted Swindley will be co-directing the production with MJ Emig of Lanfour Productions.

    Starring: Jesse Dayton, Little Jewford, Alan Lee, and Ross Bautsch.

    There will be ten performances of Becoming Kinky: The World According to Kinky Friedman at one of Kinky’s favorite venues, McGonigel’s Mucky Duck on March 28th-31st and April 28th-May 1st, 2011.

    Don’t miss the music, philosophy, and incomparable wit of the “Kinkster” forever immortalized in Ted Swindley’s Becoming Kinky: The World According to Kinky Friedman.
