The show focuses on Jordan's puberty years and how he segued into doing drag for the first time at 17-years-old. The solo show features funny stories, outrageous revelations and revealing family photos about Leslie's own experience growing up a "cissy boy" in the Deep South and how his mother, Miss Peggy Sue, continues to inspire him today.
