Mike Albo—comedian, monologist, and storyteller—takes listeners along on his quest for love in the digital age in this insightful, funny, and quirky audio original.

Told through a series of fast-paced, entertaining vignettes narrated by the author himself, Albo likens his search for fulfillment to shopping for the perfect boneless chicken breast, revealing a world where emotions can be as commodified as consumer products. His observations, both hilarious and profound, echo the insightful wit of David Sedaris, making us laugh while prompting reflection on our shared human experiences.

In Hologram Boyfriends, Albo humorously dissects the intertwining of emotional and sexual desire with the insatiable consumption of social media and apps. From the time he asked a psychic if he would ever find love, and she responded: “Well, I don’t see you alone…forever,” to an early 2000s gig where he tried to convince a major media company that using the term “GayStreaming” was probably not a good idea, “Hologram Boyfriends” depicts the (lightly fictionalized) emotional roller coaster of the author’s career and romantic love life—and just how, in the end, he has become more tenaciously optimistic than ever.
