    * Rating – 3.5 out of 5

    * 1-sentence review – The show title speaks for itself: a veteran storyteller found his audience appreciating an incredibly dedicated, intricately built presentation on cock jokes.

    * 3-sentence review – Veteran Fringe performer Jon Bennett brought Kansas City its own cock joke to love in this brash, abrasive look at how cocks have affected the performer’s personal and professional endeavors. From a performance perspective, the pacing felt rushed, the cock stories felt repetitive, and the performer somewhat seemed on autopilot. Yet the brilliance and legacy of Jon Bennett shines on with his versatility, proving a smart placement of the show’s “one night only” approach, becoming a 13 year slow burn that builds as audiences seem to come over and over again, wondering how this erection keeps growing through the years.

    Sweet Jesus this was hilarious, and that’s extra high praise as it’s coming from a lesbian! Can’t wait to see Ameri-CAN’T as well. Great work!

      We laughed so much we actually hurt afterwards! We’re going to see his other show today. Fantastic delivery of some hilarious material.

    I expected to be well entertained by this (loved his Meth show last year) and I wasn’t disappointed. He is such a terrific entertainer. Full of piss (literally) and vinegar. Hilarious.
