Adrienne Truscott's Asking for It
Dressed only from the waist up, the US comedian and performer is dragging the art of the 'rape joke' to breaking point.
Overview
It's a longstanding qualm some people have with female comedians that they're always talking about their genitalia. Those people might not enjoy this show. Returning to Australia for the second time in 2014, US comedian, performance artist and one half of the Wau Wau Sisters Adrienne Truscott is quite literally baring all in a one-woman show about rape culture.
Dressed only from the waist up, Truscott is taking aim at the likes of Daniel Tosh and his controversial comments of last year, and is dragging the art of the 'rape joke' to breaking point. After five-star reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe, Adrienne Truscott's Asking for It is likely to be one the most-talked about shows of the festival (for better or worse).
