    Beloved First Person Arts storyteller and host R. Eric Thomas combines his distinctive blend of humor and heartbreak to craft a story about being unpopular on the Internet and getting comfortable in his skin. Weaving together intimate revelations with pithy observations, Thomas tells a universal tale about making connections and making mistakes.

    R. Eric Thomas is a playwright and storyteller. He has won Best Presentation at two First Person Arts Grand Slams and hosted Slam Nation at the Kimmel Center for PIFA. Eric has read and performed for QueerIgnite, Second Stories at the Dive, Rant-o-Wheel, New York's Queer Memoir and Live at Kelly Writers House on WXPN. He teaches writing and storytelling workshops to high school students and adults for First Person Arts.
