Melbourne Comedy Festival 2017 review: Fringe Wives Club's Glittery Clittery is gutsy and glamorous

Show comments

COMEDY FESTIVAL
GLITTERY CLITTERY: A CONSENSUAL PARTY
★★★★½
Fringe Wives Club, Greek Centre, Until April 22

In the inner sanctum of the cliterati, late-night dancing is conSENSUAL, cliteracy is tested, and being hugged by a giant vulva isn't as wrong as it sounds.

The Fringe Wives Club is Rowena Hutson, Victoria Falconer-Pritchard and Tessa Waters – whose Comedy Festival solo show, Fully Sik, is relentless foreplay. The trio received a Moosehead Award to create Glittery Clittery.

In magnificent pinks and silver-sequined jumpsuits with '90s-wide pants and exquisite shoulder vulvas – that's anatomically-correct vulvas as shoulder pads – they celebrate #glamtavism (glamour activism).

The show includes original songs (with lyrics like "He only hurts you because he likes you"), audience participation games (the term "glitter hole" won a prize) and room-stilling moments like nearly cheering Trump's pussy-grabbing speech.

With endless passion, love and anger, they fight to ensure than women's voices are always heard and that women are never shamed or embarrassed for finding joy and fun in sex and their sexuality.
