Larry

See it if You like chaotic, nonsensical, over the top yet somehow transcendent comedy this is for you. Larry is a sort of clown for the #metoo era.

Don't see it if You don’t like i your face comedy. Some of this is harsh, edgy and maybe borderline offensive...but it’s not. It’s actually pretty smart.

See it if In dream, clownish Bud-guzzling, head-banging, paper-bearded handyman, Larry, transforms from bufoonish dude to full-on lady. "I'm bloated."

Don't see it if A naked lady who transforms from a thirsty dude in a cellar bar should have something to say about it: "I feel the heartbreak of the world."

Also "Labias & gentlemen/My eyes are up here"In harmony when both are fused.... Read more Read less

See it if You want an unique show that uses comedy to skewer traditional ideas about gender. You enjoy micro-budget, solo shows. You're OK w/nudity.

Don't see it if You don't like sketch character shows, you're uncomfortable w/nudity & strong language. You dislike parody. You want a big production.

See it if you enjoy short, one-act, one woman comedy focused on the stereotype of low education, unsophisticated, anti-PC blue collar straight men

Don't see it if you are upset by full female nudity, vulgarity, LGBTQ references, and stereotyping of lower working class white men

See it if You want an unusual based less play.

Don't see it if Plotless besides a waste of time..

See it if You're up for a bare-bones, outrageously funny send-up and exploration of gender, gender roles, masculinity, stereotypes and affirmation.

Don't see it if You're misogynistic, can't deal with parody, satire, nonerotic full female nudity or the fact that all human beings begin as female.

Also Candice Roberts is a brilliant, brave, provocative and entertaining performer whose one-woman show transcends and inspires. Completely inhabiting her endearingly crass, mostly silly alter ego Larry, Roberts presents a smart, thoughtful and edgy meditation on gender, masculinity, femininity, identity, self-awareness, integration and harmony. As biting and nearly over-the-top-offensive as it is, it’s also simultaneously generous kind and ultimately amazingly affirmative. How better off this world would be if we could simply identify and embrace the Other in ourselves. Clever, courageous, daring and oh-so-intelligent work, this is MacArthur stuff playing out nightly at the SoHo’s tiny Huron Club, and would that it had a larger audience.

Some will be put off—by language or interaction (no one is safe) or by the powerful surprise of a naked female body, gorgeous, funny and overpowering in its simple humanity. Transcendence needs an open mind, however.
Not for everyone, but not to be missed... Read more Read less

See it if U enjoy a different 1-woman clown-around show, & a transformation from a macho guy into a sexy woman (really!). Don't mind sophomoric humor

Don't see it if you're offended by nudity and some raunchy humor

See it if You want to support someone who made a mistake bringing this show to NYC.

Don't see it if If it bothers you when someone does not respect you or the time you have given them. It is embarrassingly poor

See it if Do you want a show that is unusual and has a female and naked body in it

Don't see it if A thought provoking hour

See it if Interesting take on masculinity - she shows us an over-the-top worst case. Some clever language here, refreshingly rural? low-class?

Don't see it if You're not interested in gender issues.

See it if You like some high energy clowing

Don't see it if You are offended by gratuitous nudity

Also I'm not bothered by nudity in stage but some are. A heads up in the show description would have been helpful. The nudity was gratuitous. The point had already been made. Using shock value feels like a distraction and, in my opinion, diluted the greater message.... Read more Read less

Don't see it if you are offended by coarse language and rock and roll...
