The ‘Virgin’ and the ‘Whore’. Two waitresses prepare themselves for another nauseating night on the battlefields of Horrifying Hospitalica! Armed with toothpick, their razor-sharp wit, and ripe, suck-able tits, they don their aprons, hoist their fishnets and limber up to perform In Whorefish Bloomers!

An adaptation of Pam-Grant and Stannard’s underground 1980s feminist ‘cabaret’. Two young actresses take on Lori and Beth in this collection of pro-femme episodes stuffed with humour, word play, cheesy dance moves, a sprinkle of song and a drizzle of darkness.

Nominated for Freshest Show and Fresh Creative (Directing) at this year's Cape Town Fringe and in town for 4 shows only!

Wish it was on for longer! Have some friends who would love to see it. Is it coming back? Such a fun mix of comedy styles with such directed content. The messages, both overt and subtle, left me thinking about a lot.

We thought the two girls pulled it off beautifully. Great timing, tempo, wit & energy. Light enough, but also dark enough to give it gravitas. Thoroughly enjoyed the show!

Absolutely loved it and the message really hit home (extremely powerful). I only wish that it could be done on a bigger scale.

Loved it! Would be nice if it could've started on time. My friend had made plans for 17h30 and we were stressing about being late for that.

Good actors, but found it a bit 'cringe-worthy', and not quite measuring up to what was advertised.
