In a former life, Steven Phillips-Horst was an advertising copywriter for brands like Hiton, Uber and Hims. Now, the New York Magazine features writer and host of the cult podcast Celebrity Book Club returns to Fringe with a new play. The Last Mad Man finds Steven as a grizzled ad man, alone after society's collapse, who must rebrand the apocalypse. But the end of the world is a tough sell. 'Downright delectable' (NewYorker.com). 'Hilariously brutal' (Glamour). 'Some of the best social commentary around' (Spectator.com). 'One of the last intellectuals we have left' (Kate Berlant).
