YEAH, THAT HAPPENED is a hilarious and poignant story about a little boy what believed he could fly and, in the end, he does. He was the gayest little boy in the neighborhood - only he was the last to know. Watch him fly through love, abandonment and "hom-o-wnership."

Nick Rafello (Writer/Performer/Producer) is making his United Solo debut with his one man show, YEAH, THAT HAPPENED. Nick came to New York back in 1983 via Cupertino, CA as a trained dancer. As the years passed, he somehow found his way into the "Land of Funny" thanks to a long-time friend, Melinda Buckley. She introduced him to the Groundlings-East Improv. company. From there he studied with the wacky Tommy Koenig's Comic Studio. His other credits include national touring productions of A Chorus Line, Fiddler on the Roof (starring Theodore Bikel) and Sweet Charity (directed/choreographed by Bob Fosse). Regional Theatre: A Chorus Line, La Cage aux Folles, Evita, Pippin, Chicago, Fiddler on the Roof. Off Broadway: Carousel des Folles and Trolls, to name a few. Other credits include doing stand-up comedy throughout New York City, as well as sketch comedy on the old Conan O'Brien Show. Recently Nick taped a comedy pilot, "Open House," hopefully to be shown on a television near you. www.nickrafello.com
