Event Details

*Warning: This event contains nudity, coarse language and discusses rape. It’s a satirical broadside against rape culture with the objective to take on the ugliness of rape discourse.

As seen on ABC TV's QnA, and direct from sell out tours in the UK, Canada, USA and NZ, Adrienne Truscott returns to Melbourne for one night only.

Dressed only from the waist up and ankles down,  Adrienne undoes the rules and rhetoric about rape and comedy and the awkward laughs in between.

With blistering sarcasm and unflinching humanity, Asking For It: A One-Lady Rape About Comedy Starring Her Pussy and Little Else! boldly explores the politics of comedy in one exhilarating hour.

With commentary from George Carlin, Louis CK and Robert De Niro, she takes on ducks, miniskirts, rape whistles, and enough gin and tonics to get a girl in trouble. In this satirical broadside against rape culture, Truscott lets her pussy do the talking. Can you make jokes about rape? She plans to, all night long. Even if you tell her to stop. 

This is without doubt the most powerful hour of comedy. **4 stars** - The Scotsman (UK)
