My overall impression
From http://www.latheatrereview.com/2010/06/22/fringe-day-six-tuesday-june-22/: Antonio Sacre used storytelling to work his way off the stripper’s pole and into the assembly halls of hundreds of schools across America. No joke. With a hit tale about a barking mouse, the articulate performer made a suitable living before deciding to create an adult story for adult fringe audiences. The resulting romp through milestones in his penis’ personal history recalls his first wet dream, coming too quickly in a soon-to-be supermodel dream girl, and the time his sexual hunger and hubris almost got him killed. This was the show which brought him recognition, laughs, and a tiny bit of controversy, and he steps out of the set and addresses the audience to tell us so.
To this reviewers disappointment, however, for Hollywood Fringe he’s evolved the plot to include material about a mediated tiff with master of morality Bill O’Reilly. Leaving his frank and funny penis chronicles behind, Sacre recalls being taken out of context during a controversial lecture at a Coloradan high school and sets the story straight, reading the piece that finally got him blacklisted on the adolescent lecture circuit. While it is heartfelt and honest, his disbelieving jab at Fox’s censorship reads more inspirational speaker than personally incredulous, and sideswipes the tone and momentum from the first half of the show. Ultimately, Sacre proves that sex is a sensitive subject matter- at home, school, on TV, and yes, even in the theatre- but that won’t stop him from talking about it.
