PORNO DINNER THEATRE

Fayner Posts: This comes from Austrailia, birthplace of TheRealLukeFord and once a place to send criminals.

Sweet.

It’s easy to find words for this show that publicists will use as pull quotes for flyers and ads. Perverse is one of them, demented is another. Shocking, maybe. It depends on your experience, among other things.

My Brother and I Are Porn Stars comes with a warning: "Contains nudity, violence and Christian porn. Material may offend." Well, it’s not real nudity, or violence, or porn, but it is very funny comedy.

New Zealand comedy duo Jackie van Beek and Jonathan Brugh play siblings abandoned as children by their famous porn-star parents and now living in squalor. When their money runs out, they make a video of their own.

It’s a visual, physical and manic show that includes a talking penis possessed by the spirit of Boy Scout founder Lord Baden-Powell (don’t ask), and a tasteless (naturally) tampon joke that has the audience squealing and squirming.

Van Beek and Brugh happily break all sexual taboos – and have apparently had people walk out – but with a title like that, what did they expect? The Sound of Music?

My Brother and I Are Porn Stars is so very, very wrong, but very, very funny. You have been warned.
