Direct from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, after traveling across three continents, Irving is an unconventional theatrical couchsurfer who has been biking, rollerblading, and driving from one town to the next for the past five years, performing and residing in the homes of perfect strangers. After 504 home shows, Gideon is now inviting audiences into his own living room on the NY stage, bringing them "Stove Top Folk" - his unique blend of songs, stories, and underwater levitation, jam-packed with curiosities and surprises. Ewen Wright and Raky Sastri are the artistic consultants and Lily Gold is the choreographer.

My Name Is Gideon: I'm Probably Going To Die, Eventually has been developed over the course of 504 performances in living rooms around the world. The resulting theatrical excursion in storytelling is rooted in song and surprise, featuring more than 15 instruments - among them, the banjo, bouzouki, waterphone, shruti box, mbira, whirly tube, and scacciapensieri. Gideon's expedition continues as he looks for a new place to stay each night, relying on this audiences' hospitality.

Scenic design is by Silvosky Studios, with lighting design by Stephen Terry, sound design by Dan Gerhard, and costume design by Alice Tavener. Casey Alexander Smith is the property master.

Tickets are $35 general admission, $25 for seniors/students, $100-$500 for heroes and a limited number of $10 tickets for all performances (which are sponsored by the hero tickets). Tickets can be purchased by visiting web.ovationtix.com/trs/pr/963075 or calling (866) 811- 4111.
