Do You Want to See This Man Play with His Instrument?

We're sure you do, since this is retired pornstar Gus Mattox whose one-man show just opened in L.A. It's all about his life as an actor and escort. And yes, he plays with himself on stage.

Just watch the clip and you'll see Gus playing his accordion. Can you believe he's a man of many talents. While this may be happening in L.A., this video from World of Wonder hosted by former club kid and "Party Monster" writer James St. James is very New York. It's great to see a skilled and beautiful performer make something of himself after a life in smut rather than just falling to seed and fading into obscurity. Also, James is a hoot to watch, even if he isn't decked out in his club kid splendor of yesteryear. Mattox's show is happening thanks to gay porn's number one personality Chi Chil LaRue who also features prominently in the little movie above. So, congrats all around and if you're in L.A. or Provincetown this summer, we're horrible jealous, and be sure to give Gus' accordion a tug for us.
