Few comings-out attract millions of YouTube views like Tom Daley’s did. But for whoever’s saying ‘I’m gay’, it’s a life-changing moment. This new show, which premiered at the 2014 Edinburgh Festival Fringe explores true-life stories with a cast of star actors and comedians. Inspired by recent high-profile ‘comings out’, from Tom Daley and Ellen Page to Ricky Martin and NBA star Jason Collins, the show is based on stories from gay men and women from around the world, exploring how they came out and what effect it has had on their lives. 

Directed by Tony Award winner David Grindley and written by the team behind the hit West End play The Act. Casting details and special guest stars for the tour are to be announced. Newly extended to two acts for its tour, the show will include fresh material and stories which the writers are currently seeking via OutingsTheShow.com.
