Koalas are Dicks

See it if Likedark send ups of Hollywood.

Don't see it if Like family friendly shows.

See it if enjoy satires

Don't see it if you want a serious show

See it if A great time from start to finish.

Don't see it if you like your humor on the safe side.

See it if You like silly and dark spoofs.

Don't see it if You prefer politically correct comedy

See it if you enjoy furry little koalas and their drug-taking, alcoholic, prostitute using ways.

Don't see it if you believe koalas belong in the Outback and not on an Off-Broadway stage.

Also Alcohol. Drugs. More Drugs. Cheap Airport Male Prostitutes, Bestiality, Even More Drugs. A disillusioned Koala named Brody.
Yep, That's the plot. This is not a morality play with a poignant lesson. This is just FUN! There is foul language, drugs and alcohol, sex and a lot of laughs.
Brody (Peter Buck Dettman) doesn't want to go back to the popular sitcom in which he stars, much to the (financial) chagrin of those around him who fear for their jobs. What ensues is madcap fun. Again, I institute the rule of Audience Responsibility, which states that if you go to a play called Koalas Are Dicks, you know exactly what you're getting into. Don't complain about its sophomoric humor. If this play were a breakfast, it would be a Poptart, delicious with absolutely zero nutrition. So sit back, let your hair down and ENJOY!!!!!! Tickets came with a little koala toy, which was a nice touch.... Read more Read less

See it if You enjoy farce done in a small theater. The idea of an actor pretending to be a koala sounds funny to you. Raunchy humor is your thing.

Don't see it if You hate the idea of a man pretending to be a koala, and you don't enjoy jokes about sex, drugs, and Hollywood.

Also While not a perfect production–the set isn't great and sometimes the pacing lags a bit–when the doors start slamming, this farce really takes flight. Wacky characters abound (including a koala who is a sitcom star, A British thespian slumming it in the States, and an airport bathroom hooker), and some delightful characterizations lead to some serious guffaws.... Read more Read less

See it if You enjoy showbiz stories, high-concept comedy, and are slightly depraved.

Don't see it if You are uncomfortable with profanity, references to drugs and sex, or Australian accents

See it if You want to see a raunchy, irreverent show about Hollywood after a few drinks at the bar. This is a 1 act comedy, so be libated to laugh!

Don't see it if You don't like irreverent comedies. You like serious plays. You don't like raunchy comedies.

See it if you like TV sitcom types as this feels like one- extended version full of laughs, surprising twists & some incidental human nature lessons.

Don't see it if you don't like the silly premise of a spoiled irreverent celebrity koala as the center of the plot - as played well by a cute funny actor!

See it if you want to see the drama that goes into creating a tv when the lead actor (koala) wants to quit.

Don't see it if moments of crude humor aren't you thing.

See it if You enjoy absurdist satire and very dark humor. You are interested in a tongue-in-cheek look at Hollywood scandals.

Don't see it if You can't take swearing, "bathroom humor" or depictions of sex and drug use. You can't suspend disbelief and like only realistic stories.

Also This one is not for the kids. Don't bring them. Even older teens, who might enjoy it, will not want to see it with their parents. Too embarrassing.... Read more Read less

See it if you are in the mood for something weird and funny but not profound or thought-provoking

Don't see it if you want to be prodded to think heavy thoughts, or the idea of a talking koala seems too absurd

See it if a very enjoyable show with a lot of humor. It is in one act and one set, very clever in the way this play was done.

Don't see it if if you do not like dark humor that preys on a lot of lude and off color behavior.

See it if you despise entertainment industry and think Hollywood is a zoo. Raunchy adult humor. Dynamic directing and tight cast.

Don't see it if you are not into sitcoms with the dash of absurd.

See it if About a star koala, who is a tv star, who wants to leave tv, and his crazy people in his life, all takes place in a hotel room

Don't see it if this is very different, goes all over the place with drugs, sex.

See it if you like satire on show biz, and a motley crew of characters acting out.

Don't see it if you are offended by raunchy jokes and substance abuse.

See it if you like to laugh at farce à la Joe Orton, sitcoms à la Friends and satire/parody à la Seth McFarlane. [This is a 2nd rate mash-up of each.]

Don't see it if despite a clever concept, you expect an astute, original script. [There are lots of laughs, but mostly at the expense of timeworn cliches.]

See it if you love farce (I don't). A well-crafted script with merely ok actors (except for superb Dettmann). KAD needs lots of cutting. Very one-note

Don't see it if you want depth. KAD is fluff about TV; cliched portraits of agent, actress, hooker, sidekick. Strong ending; some laughs. Clever premise.

Also KAD has a fun, unusual premise (the center character is a koala...and don't call him a "koala bear"), but it goes to the same well for 95 minutes. New characters pop in along the way, but the conflict is just variations on the same theme. If you like raunchy, fluffy humor, you'll have fun. This reminded me of the silly-clever British comedies of the 70s (No Sex Please, We're British). We've seen all these characters (except for the koala) before: the grandstanding actress, the rapacious agent, the bad-boy sidekick, the mindless hooker, the meek assistant. The script does, fortunately, build to a satisfying ending.... Read more Read less

See it if You like your shows random and don’t mind some language

Don't see it if You’re looking for a super polished and seamless story. I found the actors stumbling over their lines more Frequently than I expected

See it if You have low expectations. The premise was much better than the execution.

Don't see it if Tired jokes - even some bad puns. For what seems like it would be a hip show the humor was pretty stale.

See it if You find humor in silly - sometimes cliched and often crass humor - if you are in a mood for that and it's really enough for you

Don't see it if if you want to see something more than silliness

See it if Novel idea involving a koala (played by a human) TV star & his spoiled celebrity antics. Raunchy, silly & yet the laughs weren't there.

Don't see it if The acting wasn't bad, & yet the story was repetitive, characters clichè, & it didn't really go anywhere until the very end.

See it if you like farce with a potentially interesting plot.

Don't see it if you have no patience for an overwrought, one note attempt at satire. Too bad, because the potential for something clever was there.

See it if This one’s a sleeper, I mean really, sleeper. Put me to sleep in the first five minutes

Don't see it if You’re tired, you’re anxious, you’re fat, your thin, you’re smart, you’re dumb, I think you get the idea

See it if you like funny stories which still tell a lot about human interactions.

Don't see it if you only like serious plays.
