Shirley Gnome: Real Mature—Eckhardt-Gramatté

Are you someone who likes clever, insightful, satirical musical comedy? Good. Do you also think sex is hilarious? Great! This show is for you. A mixture of profane and profound, Shirley Gnome’s saucy song stylings will have you in stitches. She sings of the things we often think, but dare never say. Delivered in a folk-country style, even the most salacious truths go down easy – it’s a night you’ll not soon forget. She won awards for this stuff and everything!
