That SHOWtime of the Month

A hilarious and unpredictable comedy show where cis male comics perform while wearing period-pain simulators. Headlined by a female comic who actually knows what it’s like to battle cramps and crush punchlines at the same time.

See It Again

Seems like a silly premise, but extremely entertaining. Normally I'd hate to watch people in pain, but it's all in good fun. Kinda like watching MXC.

Hopefully not a spoiler, but the hilarity comes from watching their reactions to trying to suppress the pain and their realization that this is what women deal with every month. Wish I could watch it again!

Such an amazing concept for a show! Seeing male comics try to make it through their set while experiencing increasingly stronger period cramps is something I never knew I needed in my life. All of the comics were great sports, and very funny. In particular, Steev, Emily, and Niki had me cackling.

This show deserves a bigger audience. The male comics were GGG good giving and game. Their reaction to pain eye opening and funnier than their set.

After a mild chiding by the host I was won over by the premise. That is what I like about show business. Do a bit that makes the audience react.

Loved the idea and its execution. My compliments to the producers and the comedians. Would love for this to be a monthly thing...

I had a really fun time! The hosts were great and tonight’s guests were a great mix. It was a nice surprise that some women comedians performed as well. Who knew watching people try to crack jokes while cramping could be so funny!

Best thing to happen to men yet! Up the pain scale, I say.

We laughed so hard! The cramp simulator added a unique and let's say magical improvisational element that made them spontaneously deviate from their set material. Highly recommend!

My husband and I hurt ourselves laughing at this must see show. A tribute to just how tough stand up comedians are. Just straight up hilarious, with lots to think and talk about after. We took a chance and really glad we did. Highly recommended for both femisists and tough guys :-)
