John Leguizamo "explodes" onto the stage of the Cort Theater in New York to present what he calls a "demi-semi-quasi-pseudo-autobiographical comedy". The show tells of the years of Leguizamo's youth in different buildings in lower middle-class Jackson Heights, Queens. These years were marked by many humiliations inflicted by the neighbors, by his mother, by his little brother, and by his father, whom he ends up dedicating the show to. Leguizamo enters and exits his characters with perfect ease, always ending up returning to his voice as a first-person narrator.
