  • THE FULL MONTY with Misha Brown

    THE FULL MONTY with Misha Brown
    Feb 23 2026
    The most profound element of the musical THE FULL MONTY is that its nudity is only a symbol of the greater vulnerability the characters express throughout the story. Here this week to dive into that vulnerability (and let's be honest, the nudity) is everyone's favorite "bestie," Misha Brown. Before becoming an influencer and author with 8 million followers, Misha performed THE FULL MONTY in the middle of Pennsylvania...with some interesting results. You don't want to miss these stories. See Misha on tour for his new book, "Be Your Own Bestie!" Find out how on his Instagram and TikTok @yourbestiemisha.
