About the Show

Set in the waning days of yet another artificial intelligence startup in San Francisco, this new comedy centers around tech bros who think that they know what women want, an artificially intelligent vibrator.

From the show:
A tech startup tries to solve the hardest problem known to science: the female orgasm.

What’s the hardest part of making a dent in the universe? Finding the people who want to dent it with you. Last Gasp is a new comedy set in the waning days of yet another artificial intelligence startup in San Francisco. They’ve burned down to their last few dollars of funding trying to revolutionize the technology of self pleasure. These tech bros think that they know what women want, an artificially intelligent vibrator. But they’re running out of money and out of time, so they turn to the one person who might be able to save their startup, a female investor. When an experienced executive walks into their lab, she upends their little startup and their lives forever. They furiously pivot the product, get in and out of deals, and fall in and out of love. Will they ever figure out just what it is that women want?

Disappointing, Confusing, Great acting

See it if You like plays about tech.

Don't see it if You like musicals and comedies

Lots of "dick" jokes, Witty (when you could hear the dialogue), 2 actors did not speak loud enough, Intriguing concept, Silicon valley start-up comedy

See it if you're interested in the financial side of start-ups: how they get funded, what venture capitalists look for; you support indie theatre

Don't see it if you're fussy re: production standards; you need actors to speak clearly & at a good volume; you crave comfy seats + A/C in August + elevator Read more

Disappointing, Raunchy, Intelligent, Funny, Clever

See it if An interesting idea about the Silicon valley. It has good idea but rides the plot way to long and needed to go to next level.

Don't see it if Needs work, actors are just okay... need to speak up. If you need a Broadway production or something more established.

Quirky, Ambitious, Slow

See it if Interesting topic with a twist.

Don't see it if Script needs lots of work.

Lacking coherence, Disappointing, Entertaining

See it if you want to see a show with a LOT of good ideas, but short on development of those ideas.

Don't see it if you want a show that rides a plot line Read more

Slow, Funny, Cliched, Banal

See it if You like your jokes in Computerese.

Don't see it if You’re not interested in computerized massage phalluses and launching a business.

Disappointing

See it if Just didn't enjoy it.. difficult to hear the female when she spoke.. confusing.

Don't see it if If you don't want to see a hodge podge of a play.

Interesting but poorly executed idea, Talky, Static, Bland, Disappointing

See it if you wanna take a chance that you'll enjoy it based on the naughty-sounding subject matter alone, since it's admittedly an interesting idea.

Don't see it if you're hoping for something hilarious and risqué, as this was a very dialogue-heavy play that ultimately didn't go anywhere interesting. Read more

Critic Reviews (1)

"In the days of AI living in our bedrooms, how are human sexuality, and the female orgasm in particular, really affected? I wish the playwright had had the guts to go all the way down this path, instead of circling around and spending time on 'smart' verbiage."
