Kaylin and Jeremy are hosting a gender reveal party for their surrogate baby and you’re invited! Will it be a boy or a girl? Who knows! But Jeremy is taking forever to arrive, so, even though it’s “not a party topic,” Kaylin is going to tell everyone about the Gay Witch Sex Cult!

As Andrew Doherty expertly & effortlessly plays (nearly) every character, it becomes clear that this gender reveal party is not what it seems.

Kaylin, the storyteller, starts off ridiculous, materialistic and self-important as he sticks out his tongue and constantly brings up being ploughed by Jeremy. He’s hired to go to an island with a dark past, the Gay Witch Sex Cult Island. Where a cult of gay witches sought to bless a baby and bring it forth as the vessel for their demon God. However, the island is now abandoned – Or is it? Along the way Kaylin interacts with a grumpy Scottish ferryman, an evil priest, a demented nurse, his annoying co-worker, a demon and a friendly crab named Gonzolo. Kaylin is a hilarious guide through this horror story, rarely responding the way you should to the scary, unsettling things happening around him.

Gay Witch Sex Cult was actually very scary! Utilizing lighting and sound cues, the jump scares had the audience on their toes. A wild ride.

A24’s Midsommar meets Blumhouse’s Happy Death Day. Please, someone make this a movie!
