Groundlings main company member David Crabb has won acclaim as a writer, storyteller and actor, including two Moth Slam championships and critical praise for his roles in a variety of downtown theatre productions. In his one-man show, Bad Kid (a New York Times Critics’ Pick), he plays his adolescent self, an outcast Texas teen in a goth-obsessed, drug-fueled haze. The show is a candid, hilarious and moving examination of what it means to grow up different and alone, just like everyone else.

“As Goth kids, we thought that everything honest was rooted in loneliness, even our sexual urges and our concept of “fun,” said Crabb. “But as I grew up I could sense there was another “freak” beneath the one I contrived as a 15 year-old who wore dog collars and black nail polish; the lifelong freak, not the temporary one. I wanted to find out who he was.”
