Figuring out who you are is messy—especially when the world is telling you you’re “not non-binary enough.” In this equally hilarious and heartwarming docu-series, comedian and host Ajahnis Charley raids their enby besties’ closets looking to affirm both their identity and their hotness. Ajahnis is joined by iconic comedian Bren D’Souza and enables their use of psychedelics—psychedelic prints, that is. Actor Amanda Cordner challenges Ajahnis to a dance-off, and improviser to the stars D.J. Mausner breaks down their upscale-playful-masculine-sleazy style. Creator Meg MacKay brings dress-up back, and Drag Queen extraordinaire Chelazon Leroux explores the deeper meaning behind their iconic red dress. Clothing will be swapped, laughs will be had and tears will be shed. That’s tears, not tears—no clothing was harmed in the making of this show!
