The theater is located at 2030 Sansom St in Philadelphia and tickets are a $5 suggested donation at the door. Reservations can be made by calling 215-665-9720.

Through wildly outrageous anecdotes and hilarious song stylings, Steven brings you through his harrowing account of his life as a crystal methamphetamine addict in Chicago from 2000-2003. "Come for the sex-and-drugs talk and stay for the laughs!" says Strafford, "If the stories about crystal meth addiction don't getcha, the songs sure will!"
