Synopsis
Danny Hoch's collection of comic monologues deals with urban themes of race, identity and the moral dilemma's facing America's increasingly diverse younger generation. An immediate hit when it debuted in New York's East Village, "Jails, Hospitals & Hip-Hop" has grown out of a burgeoning downtown theater scene that seeks a direct and immediate impact on it's audience by honestly confronting the social and political issues of the day.

Publisher's Note
Danny Hogh's first show, "Some People" was produced as a special for HBO, and "Jails" is being filmed for theatrical release. Collected here are his brilliant, vivid monologues about multiculturalism, racial identity, and compassion. "Manic, amazing Danny Hoch may be the next Bogosian. Maybe better".--"New York Magazine". 20 photos.
Theatre, performance art, or spoken word--whatever you call it, the work of actor/writer Danny Hoch is a solo tour de force. In Jails, Hospitals & Hip-Hop and Some People, New York Citys rich oral traditions come alive on the page, as Manhattan Boricua English, Brooklyn Polish, Bronx Dominican Spanish, Queens Trinidadian English, Jamaican patois, and Hip-Hop all get flipped and flexed center stage. The range of contemporary experience on display in Hochs monologues is astonishing: A white teenager dreams of being a black gangsta rapper. A wheelchair-bound kid explains how his mother smoked crack during pregnancy. A pale-skinned Bronx street vendor enrages a policeman who cant figure out what race he is. A young Puerto Rican man on crutches rhapsodizes about his dancing talent. Now the thousands of fans who have enjoyed Mr. Hoch live or on HBO, as well as the many more who've only heard about him, can enjoy both Jails, Hospitals & Hip-Hop and his earlier, equally brilliant work, Some People, in a single volume that confirms his status as a unique and important artist.

Industry reviews
"Danny Hoch is a 'sui generis' talent: part sociologist, part moralist, and part super-chameleon, possessed of both sharp observational distance and bone-deep empathy."
Kahn
