The show is a combination of a deeply personal and heartfelt journey through the Alberta medical system and the broader issue of the patriarchy and "women's health".

I found myself enjoying the show as I clapped, laughed and sang along. There is a sharp detour to a heartfelt and intimate moment of reflection on the artist's struggle to get a diagnosis and find treatment. I found myself, and noted others in the audience, tearing up as the performer lays her emotions bare on the stage. This turn may be jarring to some, but the performer does an admirable job bringing the audience back to the light-hearted and edutainment performance I enjoyed at the start.

I think the unsung hero of the show is the visual gags and projected art that accompanies the performance. The projectionist does not simply sit idly by, but is a key contributor to the performance. I think the projectionist accidently stole the show on my viewing, with having a laugh out loud moment that many may miss. I cannot stress this enough, the live art elevates this show from being good to excellent.

Though this show title may scare many people away, specifically those without a uterus, I believe this show does a good job in making the subject approachable and safe for someone coming from someone who lacks the experience outlined in the title.
