Viral comedian Chris Mann’s latest parody offering “We Don’t Talk About Homo” is taking the TikTok by storm with a button-pushing spin on Lin Manuel Miranda’s “We Don’t Talk About Bruno.” Inspired by Texas State Representative Bryan Slaton’s (R) legislation to BAN drag shows in the presence of minors and the infamous “Don’t Say Gay” bill in Florida, Mann argues “America has big problems, but drag queens aren’t one of them!” Using his signature humor, razor sharp lyrics, and critically acclaimed vocals Mann roasts the likes of Ted Cruz and Mitch McConnell for defending guns over children and guffaws that, amidst mass shootings, bipartisanship, inflation, student debt, school safety issues, gas prices and big pharma price gouging, “homo” is the least of our worries. Chris brilliantly weaves himself into Encanto’s “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” playing 9 different characters from the Disney movie. Mann’s 4 year old son steals the spotlight with a powerful scene holding a semi-automatic rifle giving viewers a lot to think about regarding America’s stance on gun control and schools.
Fresh off his Lincoln Center performance for Lin Manuel Miranda, himself, Mann’s “We Don’t Talk About Homo” is as relevant as it is catchy. Mann’s critically-acclaimed parody series, “The Chris Mann Show,” has dominated the internet since 2020 with over 600 million views. The self-shot videos provided much-needed laughs with his smart-witted lyrics, hilarious facial expressions and world-class vocals. Chris’ parodies have been featured on news outlets all over the world including CNN, NPR, Today Show, BBC News, Vice, Funny or Die, The LA Times, The New Yorker, and were featured in the “Top 20 of 2020” and “Best of 2021” on NBC’s New Year’s Special, on which Chris was a commentator and also performed.
