Rating: NNN


In this sex-positive comedic solo show about STIs, NYC actor Lucas Brooks presents audience members with a paper fortune teller, which prompts different autobiographical tales about his adventurous sex life and brushes with various ailments.

Gonorrhea, Syphilis, HIV, HPV and other infections lead to hilarious and sometimes frightening stories about gang bangs, penis hickies, crystal meth and Republican doctors. It’s like Choose Your Own STI Adventure.

Brooks can spin a good yarn, so it’s odd that given the quick run time he begins each anecdote with a go-go dance. This time would have been better spent on an additional story.
