The Sex Life of Butterflies

The Sex Life of Butterflies

Martin Dockery

New York, NY


Comedic, ridiculous, and profound story about love, death, and butterflies.

Billed as “the best storyteller in the US” (Orlando Sentinel), Dockery’s comedic, ridiculous, and profound story dives headlong into the mysterious connection between love and death. Funny, true, & heartbreaking – sometimes all at once. Not to be missed! “5 STARS… A verbal magician.” -NOW Magazine, Toronto. “Deliriously entertaining.” –Orlando Weekly.

Artist Bio

Martin Dockery has been touring the worldwide fringe circuit since 2009, winning 50 different awards for his solo shows and plays. During the pandemic, he wrote and performed an entirely new storytelling show each month, broadcasting them from his backyard. They are a record of his (and our) experience of the effects of social isolation. All shows are up on YouTube, entitled “Right Now,” followed by the month. More at www.MartinDockery.com.
