Fun, Cute, Entertaining

See it if You like Sex & The City and recognize the characters. Ipema is very funny and very charismatic.

Don't see it if You don't care for one-actor comedy shows. Read more

Cute, Fun, Entertaining, Nostalgic

See it if If you are a fan of Sex and the City you should have a good time at this show.

Don't see it if You aren't familiar or not a fan of sex and the city. She goes through all of the seasons in 90min.

Funny, Sassy, Delightful performance, For tv show fans only, Fluffy

See it if you're a fan of SATC. Broad comedy (pun!) is raunchy, bubbly, silly, insightful. Kerry acts, sings, commands stage. Some strong improv.

Don't see it if you don't know the TV show...you'll be lost. Not much substance, but fluffy fun re-living 6 seasons. Sisterhood in the room. You'll laugh.

Ambitious, Excruciating, Dated, Fluffy, Indulgent

See it if You still refer to your friends as a “Carrie” or a “Samantha”, or if you still watch reruns of SATC and still find them fresh and funny.

Don't see it if You’re not OBSESSED with Sex And The City or if you liked it then but have moved on. This may tarnish those fond memories.

Entertaining, Clever, Funny, Ambitious, Great writing

See it if you want to relive 6 seasons of the show in an energetic one-woman performance that shares humor and insight to relationships inc. audience.

Don't see it if not familiar with the show's characters as you will be lost, or do not like fast-paced funny and raunchy talk with overreacting audience.

Clever, Funny, Great acting, Raunchy, Hilarious

See it if if you know something of the show or not; you will enjoy this and laugh.

Don't see it if If you hated the show. Read more

Great acting, Great singing, Great writing, Funny, Raunchy

See it if Devotee condenses 6 series into 75 mn. w/ break. Delish Sam impersonation. Pun-heavy. Plenty of slam-worthy bits quoted by characters.Lively

Don't see it if Strictly for superfans mourning that their cable sheroes are never, ever, ever, getting back together.Character delineation could use polish

Banal, Disappointing, Fluffy, Slow, Dated

See it if You watched SATC & still think it's a great show. You're OK w/raunchy humor. You enjoy parodies. You like audience interaction.

Don't see it if You don't think SATC has aged well. You want a really good, not just OK parody: w/the exception of Samantha, the voices & delivery are meh. Read more

Critic Reviews (4)

For a previous production

"Described as a parody of 'Love, Friendships and Shoes,' Kerry Ipema, (an American writer, actor and producer) has created this super, sassy show to celebrate the enduring success of this comedy series...If you want to re-live your favourite moments from 'Sex and the City' live on stage, then rush to see this hilarious one woman show performed with vivacious energy, outrageous humour, Olympic athleticism and showbiz pizzazz. Raunchy, racy and radical."

For a previous production

"This is Ipema’s first parody, and it is well-written, clever and funny. She is neither gimmicky nor predictable. Ipema is an actor and those are the skills that sustain her across all of those characters’ gestures, attitudes, and voices...At a time when so much attention seems to be directed toward girlfriends behaving badly, it is nice to see a show that confirms what most women know to be true—men may come and go but true girlfriends will always be there to help you move forward."

For a previous production

"Ipema switches between the core cast and their love interests with staggering ease. She embodies their mannerisms so well it often feels like we are watching a cast of characters, not a lone performer. The show is a love letter to female friendships, relationships and, of course, shoes...'One Woman Sex and the City' is smart, sassy and has a satirical edge, but I wish it could have been slightly longer – it was all over far too quickly and I left wanting more."

For a previous production

"Ipema, and her writing partner TJ Dawe, do a skillful job at poking fun at the faults of SATC which are so recognisable in hindsight, but far from ruining the beloved series, it only leaves the audience members talking about how much they want to go home and re-watch the entire thing...A joyful, laugh-out-loud celebration of an iconic series, and a must see for fans of the show, or anyone really."
