For more information, visit www.DavidDeanBottrell.net. The running time is 75 minutes with no intermission. David Dean Bottrell (Modern Family, Boston Legal) returns to the Triad stage with his acclaimed storytelling show that the Los Angeles Times called “hysterical” and SoCal Public Radio deemed “hilarious and touching.” Framed by his efforts to craft the perfect Match.com ad, Bottrell weaves an indelible collage of tales (spicy and tame) about his search to find and understand love. From his “engagement” at age five to a little neighbor girl (for the sole purpose of swinging on her swing set) to believing he has finally found the perfect husband (only to discover his spouse’s devastating secret), David Dean Bottrell Makes Love: A One-Man Show is a 75-minute comic whirlwind of totally true “love stories.” “We are living in strange, stressful, lonely times,” says Bottrell. “And this show is ultimately a life-affirming look at how with a little courage, can still connect.” Fans of The Moth and the New York Times’ Modern Love column will fall for the show that played sold-out runs at Dixon Place in NYC and the Comedy Central Stage in LA. David Dean Bottrell Makes Love: A One-Man Show was released as an audiobook by Penguin Random House in 2020.
