The After After Party

After Party Theatre—MTC Up the Alley

Two literal clowns wake up in a park after blacking out from their nights adventures. Through the magic of snorting a ton of Ritalin, they are transported through their memories to try and figure out what the hell happened last night. I too as an audience member spent most of the show trying to figure out what the hell is happening. It was an insane drug trip into the minds to two asshole buffoons. From the breakneck pace to the insane amount of jokes and gags these two ladies were tough to keep up with. It was an insane show guaranteed to offend you at least once. The material was incredibly dark and I felt incredibly uncomfortable at points. I personally don’t find date raping a guy you like to be funny. I also don’t particularly like watching someone’s brains being bludgeoned by a rock. I generally also get queasy at jokes about pedophilia. There were parts of the show I liked but I had a hard time coming back from these very problematic segments. I don’t know that I would recommend this show and still don’t know how I feel about it. I understand that they were trying to make the two main characters unlikable but I feel they went way too far. I would not recommend this show.
