"All I Needed Was a Hug" – A One-Man Show by Anthony B. Scruncho
Executive Produced by Tiffany Haddish
“All I Needed Was a Hug” is a raw, ravishing, and spiritually charged one-man show written and performed by acclaimed comedian and actor Anthony B. Scruncho. Executive produced by the incomparable Tiffany Haddish, and produced & Directed by seasoned veteran Stacey McClain. This powerful stage experience will debut at The Mark Theater for two weeks in September of 2025.
With grit, humor, and unflinching vulnerability, Scruncho takes audiences on an emotional rollercoaster through the streets of his past, the depths of his pain, and the height of his personal and spiritual awakening. At the heart of the story is his bond with his beloved baby sister — a girl he thought he was protecting, only to discover in the wake of her tragic death that she had been his protector all along.
Through laughter and tears, Scruncho explores how the love and hugs he spent years chasing were present all along — silently offered by the one person he never truly saw. What unfolds is a gripping tale of fall and redemption, a searing confession of inner turmoil, and a moving celebration of the resilience of the human spirit.
“All I Needed Was a Hug” is more than a performance — it’s a reckoning, a release, and a revelation. It is the rise, the fall, and the spiritual rebirth of Scruncho, a man who turned pain into purpose and found healing on stage.
