NEW YORK – Leslie Jordan may be short in stature, but he is hugely funny in his autobiographical off-Broadway show, “My Trip Down the Pink Carpet,” based on his book of the same name.

An Emmy-winning actor who calls himself “the gayest man I know,” Jordan regales his audience in the cabaret-style Midtown Theater with stories about his conservative upbringing and his career in Hollywood.

“I am such a showoff. One of my huge character defects is that I love to talk dirty and shock people,” he says.
