Moms Moms Moms: A Burlesque Comedy
DD Brassiere—PTE – Colin Jackson Studio
This is a skit/sketch variety show with a bit of everything. The raucous audience provides part of the fun as the crowd’s energy feeds the actors and they certainly return the favour.
Everyone talks about the burlesque part so I won’t be repetitive and go over that again. The deeper story here is owning who you are, owning what you are, and being comfortable with that as you age. Let’s face it, many of us were in great shape in youth, and we were proud (yes, I did it too) to prance around in bikinis and thongs. Now at almost 60, how many of us would do that? Sadly, not that many. Society teaches us that unless you have the supermodel body, you shouldn’t flash it. Many of us will never get out of that mind-frame but DD and Mom Kathy boldly come out and say, “we’re moms; we have mom figures; we’re in our 50s; and we are proud of our bodies.”
Good for you! Love it!
Also love the show, but the drug-addiction part feels out of place. This is a fun, hyper, good-time romp, and this excerpt just didn’t belong. That should be a show of its own—just keep the momentum going and keep the fun going for this show.
Now excuse me while I walk out naked to bring the recycling bin back in…
