Gerad Argeros is a writer, actor, producer, and father from Northeast Philadelphia. Now based in Brooklyn, Argeros’ original theatrical performance Fox Chase Boy channeled bar basement open mic stand-up comedy aesthetics, maitre’d hotel improvisation, DIY and Punk performance venue drink pricing, and avant garde experimental theater haughtiness. The live show which began as a deeply personal story evolved into the short documentary film Fox Chase Boy, a bold reminder that some families solve problems best in the street.
