Show-Score Member Reviews (13)
See it if You want crude laughs, an improve feel, and a talk show
Don't see it if You want a drama.
See it if you'd enjoy a late night talk show format with lots of low-brow scatological humor and ultimately heart and depth as well. Funny, delightful
Don't see it if you're squeamish. Talk show format had its ups and downs (guest interview segment was just okay), but overall great fun and affecting.
See it if you enjoy cutting-edge theatre with a satirical edge.
Don't see it if gross humor offends or if you're looking for a more traditional theatre piece.
See it if You enjoy Becca Blackwell as much as I do. This is a fun show and frankly a relief to have positive female sexual humor.
Don't see it if You are unprepared for extremely explicit sexual references and humor, visual depictions of genitalia, and audience participation.
See it if You'd like a sort-of-transgressive (also very sweet!) queer take on talk shows and children's entertainment.

See it if you’d enjoy a chaotic, unabashedly queer talk show with shades of Pee-Wee’s Playhouse and Tom Rubnitz
Don't see it if you’re averse to audience participation or prefer something with more structure Read more
See it if A fun, well-intentioned variety show about menstruation, bodies, and gender. Great design, likable hosts.
Don't see it if It’s all a bit clunky and cobbled together. Not every bit works but the best material is worth wading through the extra.
See it if you want to give yourself a magical gift.
Don't see it if you’re a grumpy, lame human.

“An amorphous, slap-and-tickle variety show, [it] seems designed to shock audiences while gingerly reinforcing their presumed liberal politics. Once it quickly achieves both, ‘Snatch Adams’ continues to push its crotch-in-your-face humor further over the top, but to diminishing returns.”

3/5 - “Underneath the shambolic fun and games are pointed lessons about the stigmatization of STIs, the wickedness of certain Supreme Court Justices and the terrifying recent setbacks for trans and reproductive rights. Directed by Jess Barbagallo, the show is overwhelming in both ambition and execution...and there is so much going on that it's easy to get off track.”

“ ‘Snatch Adams’ is part clown show, part talk show, part comedy, part commentary, part public-service anatomy lesson, part performance art — or, to be more true to the spirit of the project, it is all these things and something else, something unnameable and wholly, happily itself...It’s a celebration of muchness, of living in a strange, drippy, lovable body and sustaining an indefinable spirit — and everyone is invited.”

“It’s educational, entertaining, emotional, ridiculous, and yes, even important. Instead of hiding or being ashamed, this show invites us to be open, understanding, and even comedic about our genitals and genders – and in our present moment of abortion bans and anti-trans legislation, it’s nice to have some joy and laughter.”

"You can't criticize That Time of the Month for its vulgarity, its obsession with all (and I mean all) bodily excretions; it is, in fact, a point of pride for everyone involved. But some wit would have been nice."

Theater has the capacity to push you into entirely new experiences — and that’s definitely the case for me with Snatch Adams & Tainty McCracken Present It’s That Time of the Month, a sui generis celebration of female genitalia that dispenses the Eve Ensler-style monologue for a wacky throwback talk-show format
