Summary

1. Since 1986, performance artist David Leslie has enlivened the streets and clubs of New York City with death-defying feats that have earned him the title of "Impact Addict" and "King of Pain." Each event reinforces and extends media hype and mythmaking while exorcising Leslie's boyhood fascinations.
