Delightful, Great singing, Hilarious

See it if You like barbed political wit. You are a feminist. You are a woman.

Don't see it if You are right wing. You are uncomfortable with straightforward language about body parts. You lack a sense of humor.

Funny, Great writing, Intelligent, Refreshing, Relevant

See it if you want to see a politically charged variety comedy show. This is not a play or a musical, but 3-5 minute skits. I enjoyed it.

Don't see it if expecting it to be Politically Correct comedy. If you are looking for a plot, this is not the show for you.

Clever, Entertaining, Hilarious, Intelligent, Relevant

See it if You enjoy sketch comedy cabaret style. You enjoy topical humor. You need a good laugh after reading or listening to the news.

Don't see it if You don’t like raunchy in your face comedy from a feminist perspective. You watch Faux News, believe it and get angry when it is denigrated Read more

Entertaining, Funny, Great singing, Great writing, Clever

See it if you want a funny and raunchy show. Skits and songs were well written and executed. All the ladies were very entertaining and comical.

Don't see it if you're on a first date, a Trump supporter, aren't open minded or you're conservative.

Clever, Entertaining, Funny, Great singing, Relevant

See it if you enjoy a funny feminist musical revue made up of skits about politics, motherhood, relationships, homophobia, a few of the themes.

Don't see it if you are allergic to x-rated language, sexual material, or feminist issues. Oh and of course if you can't laugh about DJT. Read more

“Though energetically performed, ‘Broad Comedy’ is uneven and a tad ragged. Goodman's songs are reminiscent of sixties' folk rock with some lyrics jammed uncomfortably into simple melodies-smart, but obvious. There is a lot here to savor, but the pacing is askew and the show needs someone with a distance from the material who can do some nips and tucks and find the right timing for each section of the show so that the performance would appear less frantic.”

"An ensemble production with five game performers...The content is earnest, feminist, topical, and thin...An evening of too many amateurish, if well-intentioned pieces...Generally the songs are better than the skits and much of the sketch comedy feels like fill...This show should thrive on the industrial circuit but it is not meant for a New York audience. That may speak as much to the wealth of polished performance we take for granted as to the rookie quality of much of this material."
