5review = Very funny, sexy, witty show. I was surprised at how much an "outsider" like me (I'm straight) enjoyed it. There is something universal in wanting to have great sex & a great laugh: this show offers tips on how to get the first & plenty of the second.

Several times during this comic take-off on Dr. Ruth Westheimer and other sex therapists, I asked myself whether Christina Starr should have given prior notice in the Fringe catalog that her character is defined and "coming" from the lesbian and/or promiscuous perspective or not. I didn't ponder long before I realized that all sex therapists come from some perspective and background, and many come with an agenda about what we should be doing with our genitals. I was not comfortable with this realization. "Can you say Laura Schlessinger?" Thank you, Ms. Starr. I was pleased with this light-hearted, happily "naughty" performance.

5review = I had a blast. The Dr.'s fine sense of comic timing isa joy to behold. Her sense of irony with sexual adventure in the gay community leaves wanting to know much more. I nearly exhausted myself during the orgasm scene - perhaps you have to canuck friendly to get the meaning there. I would go and see this show again - the writing is sublime, the dancing is amusing and the doctor has excellent advice for those who enjoy sex from the bottom or the top!
The charm of her delicate stage presence leaves you wanting more.

5review = Boy was this a waste of time, not to mention money. The title was misleading 'cause there was no information provided that hasn't been hacked over hundreds of times before. Dr. C's self-indulgent mannerisms were not even mildly amusing. I found the peice inclusive only to the gay community and fairly offensive to my sensibilites. A more appropriate title might be: "Lesbian Humor and Other Non-Sequiturs".

5review = Material is uneven, some very funny but most barely to smile about. Phony accent is sometimes hard to understand. Dancing bits are ho-hum.
