Gay for Pay: The Blake & Clay Plays

In Gay for Pay with Blake & Clay, two out-of-work gay actors teach straight men how to play the gay roles that lead to awards season glory. Blake and Clay may not be leading men, but they are leading these men to greatness by teaching them to go from straight to straight-up booked. Because representation matters, but Blake and Clay’s representation hasn’t called them in ages. Blake & Clay’s Gay Agenda invites you to the fabulous book launch for the world’s first how-to manual about the eternal conundrum that is gay living. Watch as Blake and Clay take the guesswork out of the queer experience and unite the community once and for all. Because if the gays can agree on one thing, it’s that they can’t agree on anything.
