DEL SHORES SORDID CONFESSIONS

Del Shores, creator of the cult favorite TV series Sordid Lives (starring Olivia Newton-John, Rue McClanahan, Leslie Jordan and Caroline Rhea) is touring his hilarious new standup show!

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: MORE SORDID CONFESSIONS. "Del says what most people think. He has no censor -- on or offstage. Audiences love him because of his ‘bless-their-hearts' Texas charm," explains Caroline Rhea. "Look, I'm off Paxil, I'm bitter, a little mean 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.

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).
