Dennis is joined via Zoom by actor-writer Michael McHale to talk about his one-person show Searching For Robert Hennessey, which recounts the decades-long search Michael went on for his biological father after his single mother told him the man's name on his 18th birthday. It's an odyssey that involves making out with a guy he met at the Eagle and discovering they may be related, spending years in--and then escaping from--a Christian cult, being diagnosed with HIV/AID and never giving up the hunt, although he wanted to many times. Michael also talks about what it was like to grow up in the projects in Boston, working with Ben Affleck and Michelle Pfeiffer, turning to standup comedy to help him fight AIDS and how he manages to stay sunny in a world with so many clouds. Other topics include: taking his show to the Edinburgh Fringe this summer, blowing the whistle on his sexual abusive uncle, why people should get on Ancestry.com, his book And Hubby Makes Three: A Tragically Fabulous Love Story, his upcoming holiday film Death Takes and Jolliday and why, when he got down to four T cells, he decided to name them Candy, Brandy, Sandy and Dandy.
