In this episode of The Queerty Interview, John Halbach sits down with actor, writer, and comedian Drew Droege, the creator and star of Messy White Gays, the dark comedy that’s quickly become one of the most talked-about shows in New York theater.
A sharp, Hitchcock-inspired satire, Messy White Gays follows a gay couple whose brunch plans spiral into chaos, using humor, camp, and tension to explore privilege, performative progressivism, and queer social dynamics. The play has earned packed houses and a growing cult following for its fearless comedy and razor-sharp writing.
In conversation with John, Droege opens up about the pandemic-era inspiration behind the play, his transition from Los Angeles to the New York theater world, and the joy of creating work that blends dark humor with cultural commentary. He also reflects on marathon theater schedules, creative community, and why certain queer references, from Broadway classics to Jean Smart, remain iconic onstage.
