Del Shores in Sordid Confessions

The Southern-loved writer/director/producer and most recently added stand-up comedian just played to rave reviews in his new stand-up show at the Laurie Beechman Theatre in New York City, The Rose Room in Dallas and The Jungle in Atlanta.

Del Shores, creator of the cult favorite TV series Sordid Lives (starring Olivia Newton-John, Bonnie Bedelia, Jason Dottley, Ann Walker, Newell Alexander, Rosemary Alexander, Beth Grant, Rue McClanahan, Leslie Jordan and Caroline Rhea), brings his hilarious one-man show to The Art House August 6-9.

Whether he's recalling details of his "slut" years or calling out the assholes and bitches he's worked with, no subject is off-limits in Del Shores: SORDID CONFESSIONS.

"Del says what most people think. He has no censor -- on or offstage. Audiences love him because of his Ã¢bless-their-hearts' Texas charm," explains Caroline Rhea. "Look, I'm on Paxil and I don't give a shit anymore," Shores warns.

Del Shores is a writer, director, producer, activist and comic. His career took off with the 1987 play Daddy's Dyin' (Who's Got The Will?) and the subsequent 1990 film. He is best known for his 1996 play Sordid Lives which became a film in 1999 and later gave birth to an acclaimed 2008 TV series for Logo. His other plays include Southern Baptist Sissies, The Trials and Tribulations of a Trailer Trash Housewife and mostly recently Yellow, which just won a plethora of theatre awards in Los Angeles, including Best Production, Best Direction and Best Writing for Shores from the Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle and Backstage. His work has garnered countless other awards including GLAAD Media Award, NAACP Award, Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award, Back Stage West Garland Award, Ovation Award, Drama-Logue Award and LA Weekly Award (including their 2006 Career Achievement Award).
