This darkly funny, biting, and deeply vulnerable solo show, written and performed by Austin Jennings Boykin, pulls audiences into the intimate, unpredictable world of a gay masseur navigating desire, identity, and survival.Blending sharp humor with raw honesty, Boykin crafts a theatrical experience that’s as fearless as it is human — a portrait of self-discovery that’s both wickedly entertaining and emotionally unguarded.Boykin, an actor and comedian seen on FX, Amazon, HBO, CBS, and countless comedy clubs, brings his singular voice and electric presence to the stage. The production is directed by theatre maker and producer Joe DeStefano, whose sensitive direction highlights the humor, heartbreak, and humanity at the show’s core.A Gay Masseur’s Guide to Happy Endings is a bold, unflinching piece of theatre that invites audiences to laugh, squirm, and reflect — sometimes all at once.Agenda?: 07:00 PMHouse opens?: 07:30 PM - 08:30 PMA Gay Masseur's Guide to Happy Endings - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/new-york/a-gay-masseurs-guide-to-happy-endings/100001866745870149 - **Event Categories**: art, theatre, comedy, workshops, entertainment - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket URL**: https://consumer.pxf.io/c/1339408/3151484/39691?partnerpropertyid=1191892&MediaPartnerPropertyId=1191892&svlink=14105511&level=1&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fa-gay-masseurs-guide-to-happy-endings-tickets-1866745870149 ## Event venue details - **city**: New York - **state**: NY - **country**: United States - **location**: Chain Theatre - **lat**: 40.753691 - **long**: -73.993341 - **full address**: Chain Theatre, 312 West 36th Street, New York, United States ## Event Organizer details - **affiliate_id**: 10 - **organizer**: Austin Jennings Boykin (https://allevents.in/org/austin-jennings-boykin/26976231) ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: banner - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/1c5ff087f7e40c9eaed3b72681e87021993c980b453138bf07fb32c81805ad10-rimg-w1200-h675-dc93754a-gmir.jpg?v=1761749764 - **Alt text**: thumbnail - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/065975d4fdd06d8c62cca54b1c8148ac66c521d8c2e402bf023722503da271ff-rimg-w400-h400-dc93764b-gmir.jpg?v=1761749763 ## FAQs - **Q**: When is the event happening? - **A:** Wed, 12 Nov, 2025 at 07:30 pm - **Q**: Where is the event happening? - **A:** Chain Theatre, 312 West 36th Street, New York, United States - **Q**: Who is organizing the event? - **A:** Austin Jennings Boykin - **Q**: What type of event is this? - **A:** art, theatre, comedy, workshops, entertainment - **Q**: Where can I find ticket details about A Gay Masseur's Guide to Happy Endings ? - **A:** You can find ticket details about this event on AllEvents. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "A Gay Masseur's Guide to Happy Endings", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/1c5ff087f7e40c9eaed3b72681e87021993c980b453138bf07fb32c81805ad10-rimg-w1200-h675-dc93754a-gmir.jpg?v=1761749764", "startDate": "2025-11-12", "endDate": "2025-11-13", "url": "https://allevents.in/new-york/a-gay-masseurs-guide-to-happy-endings/100001866745870149", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Chain Theatre", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "312 West 36th Street", "postalCode": "10018", "addressLocality": "New York", "addressRegion": "NY", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "40.753691", "longitude": "-73.993341" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "This raw, unflinching, wickedly funny solo show dives into sex, survival & self-discovery told through the lens of a gay masseur.", "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Austin Jennings Boykin", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/austin-jennings-boykin/26976231", "description": "Austin Jennings Boykin is a New York based actor/writer/comedian.
