With everything from small giggles to uproarious laughter I genuinely enjoyed this show. Be prepared to not take this academic study or yourself too seriously and you will be in for a treat. The puns were so powerful the local power plant got some reprieve! Bravo to these talented and hilarious performers.
It’s generally entertaining when an artist treats a ridiculous topic with absurd seriousness. This show does this in spades. Quite a few laugh out loud moments, and the accompanying video productions were first class. Probably the most creative fringe show I’ve ever seen.
I’ve seen this show twice now, and it’s SO FUNNY! There’s also a twist at the end that you won’t see coming!
Very glad I went. Clever, witty, judicious use of pantomime. Theater nerds will appreciate the history of the subject at hand.
You will leave this show thinking “that was ridiculous” and that’s absolutely a compliment. Treating a silly topic with such seriousness was funny.
I feel so … educated (and certified ) after this hilarious advanced course … about the history and art of … something we all do – a must see! Do not miss this show!
I left knowing so many more fun terms for masturbation! This show was hilarious and absurd and raunchy, in all the right ways. Don’t miss it.
I LOVED this show! I giggled on the front row for the whole hour!
I’m telling everyone I know to go see this- it is clever, funny, and really hit home on my theatre history love!
I sat right up front with my best friend and had a blast! I was laughing the whole time, and was absolutely floored by all the puns! Plus, the on screen work by Vulva Va Voom is everything! Definitely take the opportunity to catch this show!
