Ken Straus is a writer and performer whose work mines the rich, the ridiculous, and the surprisingly moving territory of generational experience

Ken Straus is known for his compelling performances in both television and theater, with a career, spanning high-profile TV dramas, film, and stage productions. Ken brings a unique background incorporating his diverse life experience into his creative work. 

BOOMER — his 75-minute one-man show — draws on decades of sharp observational comedy, personal storytelling, and pitch-perfect character work. The result is a show that feels both universal and deeply personal: audiences don't just laugh, they remember.

“Boomer is a fun, funny, stream-of-consciousness one-act play - a self-deprecating social satire chronicling the author's coming-of-age in a mad world of his own creation. Rollicking, zany, great language, and filled with surprise. I read it in one giggling blast.”

The humor is warm, the insights are real, and the laughs are loud. This is the show that makes people turn to the stranger next to them and say, "That's exactly what happened to me!"
