Tom Tiding, a Washington-based writer and actor, performs his one-man show “Twisted” at Fort Fringe, the Baldacchino Gypsy Tent Bar (607 New York Ave., N.W.) tonight at 8:30 p.m., Sunday at 3:30 and Thursday at 9:30 p.m.
“Twisted” finds Tiding, the creator of greeting card company Twisted Tidings, telling funny stories of how greeting card moments have gone wrong in his life. It’s been called a “slightly crass love letter to awkward friendships formed out of necessity and a shared sense of being an outsider.” Tiding is straight but one of the stories is about a gay black man in a small town in Oklahoma.
Tickets are $17 or $5 with a Fringe button. Visit capfringe.org for details.
