The legendary cult-filmmaker takes to the stage with his traditional one-man monologue, extolling the virtues of everyone's favorite holiday, from offering advice on Christmas films and music to asking the important questions you've always wanted to be answered by the people's pervert, such as 'Is Santa erotic?'

Written by Thomas Meloncon and directed by Danny Hodges, The Diary of Black Men is a reflection of the conversations our communities have been having for generations about the raw realities of being a Black man in America. First penned in the late '70s and continuously updated to stay relevant, it's as timely now as its debut.
