Comedianโ Zach Noe Towers Dishes on Twinks, Sex Positivity & a Potential Wicked Reunion with Ariana Grande
CHICAGO – Comedian Zach Noe โTowers is bringing his brand of “silly-goose laughter” to Zanies Chicago on November 29, promising an hour of stand-up tackling sex, dating, โfamily, and his decade of sobriety. But beyond the setlist, Towers is sparking conversation with his openly queer perspectiveโค and a playful hope for a โขreunionโข with wicked star Ariana Grande.
Towers, whose 10th sobriety anniversary is November 27, views queer representation as “everything, right now,”โฃ especially in a political climateโฃ where simplyโ existing โasโฃ a queer person feels increasingly fraught. Heโฃ aims to cultivate “queer joy” and safe spaces,using comedy as a tool for self-love and acceptance. The comedian also revealed a fondnessโ forโ Grande, noting her surprising comedic talent and pro-LGBTQ advocacy, and playfully suggested she’d be “down โto clown” if invited to join him onstage. “I’ve never felt that my existence has been more politicalโ than itโ does today,” Towers said.”I am trying to experience as much queer joy as I can to lift up as many queer people as โI can.”
During a recent interview with windy City Times, Towers didn’t shyโฃ away from discussingโข more explicit topics. He joked about theโ freedom that comesโฃ with sobriety,quipping,”Yesโ you were [sober when making bad decisions],bitch!” before adding,”but now I have nothing to blame my choicesโ on.” He also touched on his embrace of โขsex positivity, frequently referencing “twinks” – a term for young, slender gay men โ-โข in his material.
Towers emphasized the personal journey โคbehind his comedy. “I’m โขon a continued journey of โloving my authentic self, and comedy has helped so much,” heโฃ explained. “Iโ hope that people will give my โคshow a chance to help them love themselves a little more, too.”
Zach Noeโฃ towers โwill perform โขat Zanies Chicago, 1548 N. Wells St., on saturday, November 29, at 9:15 p.m. Guests must be at leastโ 21 yearsโ old. Ticketsโข and โฃdetails are available at โข https://chicago.zanies.com/show/zach-noe-towers-10/zanies-comedy-club-chicago/chicago-illinois/.
