He sings. He dances. He sucks! And he's got a magical, hilariously off-beat show planned for you chock full of overly-emoted contrived ballads, clunky piano accompaniment and more ridiculous costumes than Rudy Galindo at the '94 Olympics! Accompanied by comedy composer Scary Manilow (Dennis T. Giacino), “the guy who writes the songs that make the whole world cringe,” l ounge lizard Matias rifles through his twisted songbook of original
melodies about fetishes, threesomes, stalking, sex change operations, vengeance, fag hags and porn.
