Synopsis
Intellectual satire meets Monty Python silliness in this award-winning multimedia “lecture.” Mount the dizzying heights of academia’s overtly phallic ivory tower to indulge in a piquant blend of intelligence and ridiculousness.
This comedy stars an eccentric professor who takes the art of “jackin’ around” VERY seriously!
“Stroke’s” tongue-in-cheek Humanities references are cleverly interspersed with hundreds of bawdy rapid-fire innuendos (polished to perfection during dozens of performances across the U.S.).
With original footage critics praised as “cinema-quality,” “Stroke” makes expert use of slide decks and an unflappably straight-faced “teaching” style. Reviews and more on company website. (fringetoronto.com)
