Mikey's decided two things: he's ready to propose to his partner and he's going to practise his proposal speech on a balloon first. Coming to the same park bench every day, a strange relationship develops and soon, the balloon starts talking back to him. Written by stand-up comedian and So You Think You're Funny finalist, Mark Daniels, this ridiculous dark comedy is a story of love, loneliness and a gay man's relationship with his city. Oh, and it's also about a passive aggressive b*tch of a talking balloon.
