UPDATE London 29 June 2023 - SELF TAPE finale and award nomination
Michael Batten and his wardrobe of designer men’s underwear from DGU have been much admired during the run of SELF TAPE which ends on Sunday.
The best news is that the show has been nominated for an ‘Offie’ award and his audience has been peppered with famous faces.
SELF TAPE is up for a Solo Performance Off West End Award – presented to recognise and celebrate the excellence, innovation and ingenuity of independent Off West End theatres across London.
Michael is of course delighted: “Being nominated for best solo performance is a huge honour. I am overjoyed! It has been incredible performing for people like Ruth Wilson and Simon Callow - to be able to act in front of some of Britain’s most talented actors is amazing. That gives you a real buzz.”
And how have those male briefs performed? “Very comfortable, perfect for the role and definitely getting a lot of attention,” Michael says.
What next for the actor and SELF TAPE? Michael is being encouraged to take up a new career as a men’s underwear model but he might be too busy – there could be another run of his hit one man show later this year.
Men’s underwear retailer Deadgoodundies has a new role today, dressing Michael Batten, star and writer of the unflinching, fascinating play SELF TAPE.
His acclaimed one-man show following the double life of hunky gay actor and webcam model Jonas Harland has been invited back to London’s Kings Head Theatre for a longer run after sell out performances in April.
Michael Batten, who wrote his gay play during lockdown, is mostly dressed only in underwear (or less) and he invited Deadgoodundies to provide his wardrobe for the new run at the Kings Head from June 18 to July 2.
Men’s underwear briefs play a crucial supporting role in SELF TAPE, echoing Jonas’s developing experience as he plunges deeper into the world of cyber sex. The story explores in-person and virtual relationships, the taboos of sex work and exponential rise of camming – as opposed to self taping which is how actors audition for the roles of their dreams.
“I knew Deadgoodundies from a previous theatre production of The Full Monty and knew they were the obvious choice – I selected tanga, low cut and bikini briefs for Jonas,” said Michael, who has been giving his final selection of Gregg Homme, Andrew Christian, Modus Vivendi and TEAMM8 designs some testing rehearsals.

Look no further than Deadgoodundies.com where we have a line-up of male boxer briefs with standard or fly pouches with right hand access. The appeal here is the anatomical front, smooth tight fit all round and great breathable support.
Andrew Christian Almost Naked Cotton Boxer Brief
Andrew Christian Almost Naked pouch: even they say it's the most comfortable men's underwear they've ever designed! Ensuring a natural, anatomically correct shape, the pouch helps avoid squashing, chafing, sweating, sticking and readjustment – without using any hidden extras inside. Feels like you're not wearing anything at all.
Trophy Boy: with more room in the Almost Naked pouch this is men's underwear for well endowed guys who are happy to show off their manhood. Male bulge pants at their best.
MASSIVE: another distinctive name on this designer brand men's underwear waistbands. Styles that glitter and shine, with standout elastics that add to the glamour, most often in silver or gold metallics and black, sensual sheer see through looks, or on trend big cat effects.
Cotton briefs and boxers for men: obviously with Andrew Christian's famous styling, this men's underwear brings together classic shapes with modern pouches, superb colours and luxury peach soft fabric. Choose pairs from plain and simple cotton male boxers and briefs or with a fly opening.
Bamboo: men's underwear in rayon made from bamboo ensures a rather special experience. Soft, antibacterial and moisture-wicking, this breathable fabric is the ultimate comfort in luxury male mini briefs and trunk shorts.
Prints and Stripes: fresh new prints and different takes on stripes, often rainbow colours, add to the already extensive choice in Andrew Christian man's underwear. Alongside the brand's sexy lace and mesh there are silky smooth microfibre print briefs, and fine or wider horizontal stripes. Prints range from multicolour imagery to all the animal prints you desire – leopard spots, zebra and tiger stripes. (Some designs are actually furry and so soft you'll want to stroke them… and so will others!)
Tagless male underwear: fitting up close and very personal, Andrew Christian male bikini and mini briefs, thongs, strings and maxi trunk undies often come tagless, with no internal labels to itch, scratch or spoil the second skin fit. The smoothness is also preserved with no back or side seams so you can slip into a pair and enjoy the feel.
Slimming waistband: Andrew Christian, the famous designer whose brand was first revealed to the world in 1997, has also created a clever slimming elastic. Smooth as glass, neatly signed, shallower than the ANDREW CHRISTIAN branded, MASSIVE and glitter waistbands, this is another element that adds to the superb comfort of all his men's underwear.
Mesh: When it comes to the most breathable fabric, Andrew Christian mesh could be sheer and lacy or perforated and sporty. Go for transparent underwear for men or sleek, opaque styles with built in air conditioning.
Andrew Christian men's underwear is often covered in a whole galaxy of stars and wow, do they twinkle! Some male briefs are see through and sprinkled with stardust, others cover your assets in a sea of metallic pentagons.
