Day 2 -- 5:30 p.m. Time Slot

Show: Porn! Or How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Dong

Company: Me and Bill

Venue: UofM Rarig Center Xperimental

Die Roll: 10



This was the first of a day at the Rarig. I like the fact that 4 of the venues are contained in one economy-sized package.

This show was painful. There's no two ways about it. I hate to be that blunt, but when it comes down to it, I'm hurting for time today, and this show isn't worth it.

There were many jokes in the show that attempted to be self-depricating by making fun of how bad the show must be because it is in the Fringe. Unfortunately these jokes were not funny. They were merely sad. Because they were true. The show was in the Fringe and it was bad.

There were too many "what the Hell?!" moments and too many errors to make the show worth suffering through.

At one point I found that it was more interesting to watch Dominic Papatola in the audience than it was to watch the show itself.

One high point (of a sort, maybe)... if you're attracted to Jessica Simpson, you'll like Amy Bury in this play... Dead ringer!

This play also ran remarkably long... long enough that the technician had to pipe in on the "God Mic" to tell them to get off the stage. Over five and a half minutes over time.

Ten word summary: Isn't porn supposed to be amusing somehow? I guess not.

RATING: "d4 - Not Worth The Time"
