A Gay Masseur’s Guide to Happy Endings is a funny and disarmingly provocative solo show by Austin Jennings Boykin. 

WORLD PREMIERE EDINBURGH FRINGE FESTIVAL 2026

A young struggling New York actor turns to gay massage work for quick cash.

Years later, an encounter with a couple in Greenwich, Connecticut spirals wildly off the rails, forcing him to confront the cost of a life built on performance. 

Based on a true story, the play faces the hard truths of sobriety, self worth, and sex work. 

“The most accurate representation of this world I’ve ever seen.”

— Jeff Volensky, MMX Co-founder
