2017 Seattle Fringe Festival: Cuddling with Strippers
Nik Doner presented his performance of a genre I would call comedy-memoir to a packed Black Box Theatre crowd this Saturday. Directed by Hannah Victoria Frankin with Hannah Mootz and Hannah Ruwe as exotic dancers to add true-to-lifeness. This show also featured video projection of some of Nik’s home movies and a stretch of a car crash video game as he narrated one particular drunken driving experience.
Part of the charms of attending performance entertainment like Cuddling with Strippers is the safe peek it offers into worlds alien to my own.
Animal Attack! Almost True Stories- Amusing, Intriguing and Incredibly WEIRD, yet engaging
All Creatures Great and Small Want you Dead!!!
Well, just when I thought 18th and Union Theatre had presented the best comedy show in town, they came up with another one, Animals Attack! Almost True Stories, by Scot Augustson, Kelleen Conway-Blanchard and Jennifer Jasper. The genesis for this particular gem was in 2016, when Kelleen contacted Scot and Jennifer and said, “Hey! Ya wanna do something about animal attacks?”
That something became a reading of stories about very weird and I mean VERY weird animal attacks with some improvisation and audience participation thrown in. It was a delightfully funny evening with some of the most creative writing I’ve heard in a very long time.
Shlong Song-Ironic Sarcasm is our Thing!!!
Sexual Bildungsroman
Yes, indeed Shlong does mean male appendage in Yiddish. That was about all I knew about the 9:30 Friday night play at 18th and Union, before an adorable young man dressed in combat boots, revealing short shorts and a car-coat length women’s fake fur coat, bounced on stage, like Tigger. Accompanied by what sounded like a female stripper’s song, he started dancing around, and showing off his “equipment.”
