Why you shouldn’t miss this!
Radical comedian, activist and performance artist, Adrienne Truscott’s Asking for It mixes humor, dance, video and p*ssy-puppetry, while undoing the rules and rhetoric surrounding rape. Truscott straddles the world of stand-up and performance art, dressed only from the waist up and ankles down. With commentary from George Carlin, Louis C. K. and others, Truscott takes on ducks, mini-skirts, rape whistles, Cosby, #45 and whoever is left in Hollywood.
Heavy at its core but light on its feet, Truscott makes jokes about rape all night long… even if you ask her to stop. She’ll be updating right up until curtains.
